9 inspiring window solutions

04 of May '20

Properly selected frames and glazing of windows in houses affect the appearance of the facade, the natural light coming into the apartments and the atmosphere we create in our interiors. Nowadays we have a whole range of options to choose from, from functional roof windows to colorful frames to large glazed balcony doors. In today's "Coffee Break" we present you with 9 inspiring solutions for windows in houses and apartments.

minimalism and austerity

In the design of a single-family house surrounded by the unusual landscape of a nature reserve area, architects from English studio RX architects opted for large windows in minimalist wooden frames that do not disturb the residents' extraordinary view.

windows all around

The house, which also serves as a hotel for guests of the surrounding vineyard and gallery, has been given a modern twist thanks to a remodel designed by Raúl Sánchez Architects, the icing on the cake being the round window.

open - closed

The facades of a house in Afife designed by a Portuguese architect can change depending on whether and which windows homeowners open. Closed shutters transform the house into a uniform white cube, while opening any of them, on the other hand, breaks the minimalist monotony of the block. You can read more about the project here.
