GRIDDED WINDOW WINDOWS

Take one of those gorgeous windows from the gorgeous house, plop it in a structure where it doesn't fit, and I assure you it will look cruddy and ill-chosen. Please study that picture very carefully for at least 2 hours and analyze it with respect to every factor I've mentioned. They look great because of the way they coordinate with the shape of the house, its millwork and detail, massing of the facade, with careful respect of scale, alignment, symmetry and asymmetry, and relationships among sizes and shapes, not to mention strong historical references. I love the suggestion about taking the grid off the back and leaving them. However, those windows do not look great in isolation. I would also like some suggestions on what window treatment might work best. The inspiration photo you posted - showing a 2 story house - does look great. Hire him, give him your goal and budget, pay him a reasonable fee, you'll be much happier with the result and probably save money too. Suggestion: DMH on this site often has GREAT ideas for this. Search ellipse can be rotated by specified angle, the. Then bring in the builder to BUILD the idea you choose as that is his best area of contribution. It uses a moving window of elliptic form to search values and averages all data points within the window. You should get an architect or designer to sketch some ideas for you on improving the look of the house as that appears to be the real goal. Even widgets like paned windows, notebooks, canvas, and text that well explore later can act as geometry managers.

Builders' design ideas tend to be very Home Depot-ish, mass markety, unrespecting of historical and architectural nuances and about 20 years out of date. Builders are usually not the best source of advice on design and curb appeal (a few are, but most aren't even though a lot of them think they are).

And I really would advise against a picture window flanked with operables.that is the antithesis of cottage charm. Definitely not the first thing I'd do, or even the tenth. What exactly do you dislike about it? It does seem a slight mismatch to the other window and door, but not a serious one. That bay window really isn't ugly, at least not in the photo.
