FAWindows determine how a building breathes, connects and receives light.
They control light, proportion, privacy and how architecture feels from the inside as well as from the outside.
A slit window is precise. Usually vertical, it frames light intentionally. It’s not about views, it’s about atmosphere.
It creates controlled beams of light and works beautifully in staircases, bathrooms, or thick masonry walls.
Ribbon windows are different. They stretch horizontally across a façade and connect interior and landscape in a continuous line.
They flatten perspective, expand visual width and make a space feel open and modern.
Transom windows sit above doors or larger windows. Originally used for ventilation, today they’re powerful for bringing light deeper into a space without sacrificing privacy.
In compact layouts, they can completely change how connected rooms feel.
Choosing the right window type is not aesthetic preference, it’s spatial strategy.
Save this for your next renovation or when speaking with your designer/client.
