Windows Bay

Kitchen. What kitchen would not benefit from a large window like this, letting in natural light all day long? Notice that although the ceiling of the bay is separate, the bay does have its own walls. This indicates that structure needed to be addressed. But with the structural changes, the homeowners gained extra storage; note the drawers designed into the window seat.

You can see that the bay is a cutout in the primary wall; however, each window is an individual unit with its own trim. The whole composition hangs from the face of the house.

Q

In another bedroom, the bay has three walls inset with windows, as opposed to the previous example. Either arrangement can give a room lots of character.
