Additional Window Types
Most residential architecture is vernacular, incorporating a variety of architectural styles and features, including window types. Some of these are based on historical precedents, such as the Palladian window, which is named for 16th century architect, Andrea Palladio. Others are often a combination of traditional and modern interpretations.
