In a home, windows can be a source of light, views, and fresh air and they can also be a dramatic feature as the focus of a room.  For architects, windows are complicated.  We fret over the proportions, structure, heat load, and energy loss as well as how they frame the views, brighten a room and define the look of a home.  To me, there is no right or wrong way to design a window.  Each home and each window needs to be looked at as a unique experience in the context of the whole property and the homeowner’s needs.
