recézett

Recézett is a Hungarian term that translates to "recessed" in English. It is primarily used in architectural and construction contexts to describe a feature that is set back from the main surface or plane. This can apply to various elements of a building, such as windows, doors, or decorative moldings. When a window is recézett, its frame is set deeper into the wall compared to a flush window, creating a shadow line and adding visual depth. Similarly, a door can be recézett within its frame or the entire doorway can be recessed into the facade. Decorative elements like cornices or baseboards might also be recézett, meaning they are set back from the wall or ceiling, creating a layered effect. The term can also extend to less common applications, such as a recézett light fixture, where the light source is hidden within a cove or housing, projecting light indirectly. The purpose of recézett features often includes aesthetic enhancement, providing protection from the elements, or improving acoustic properties. The degree of recession can vary significantly depending on the design and desired effect.
