Those windows are generally referred to as ‘punch’ windows in the construction industry: an opening that is essentially ‘punched’ out of the exterior facade wall. If you get lots of light through a punch window you must have Southern, South-east, South-west facing windows - otherwise those apartments with punch window tend tend to have much darker interiors. I have large punch windows with north exposure and need to put on the house lights during the day time hours; so sometimes the ‘wall-of-windows’ is best for natural daytime light.

You can see the framing of the decorative swoop. Some new shots from misidentified cityrealty article.

If they copied yimby they’d get the address right.

They do it all the time. Every time we write something they do the same post a week later. It is so blatantly an attempt to override the SEO so their links appear ahead of YIMBY’s. Sneaky and rude.

If they are copying wording as well as story line they also are violating copyright law. Get a lawyer.

Right you are. But every once in a while the advice actually makes sense, right?!

Another architectural wedding cake by RAM; not original, not contemporary design but highly decorative and a feast for the eye - beautiful.

I particularly like the idea of ‘punch windows’ which are always good for creating ‘cozy’ and ‘quiet’ interior apartments, and always part of the traditional design vernacular.

Artful, and inventive contemporary design is still my idea of the absolute best type of Architecture one can do; and that is purely in the realm of ‘opinion’ and personal preference - RAM is brilliant at what-they-do.
