What is a bay window?
It seems that the German word “bay window” has only recently entered our language. However, houses with a bay window are not so rare in the vastness of the former Soviet Union.
A bay window is a protrusion from the facade of a building. Almost the entire area of its walls is occupied by windows, so daylight rooms with a bay window significantly exceed the lighting of ordinary rooms.
Basic distinctive features rooms with a bay window:
- panoramic view from the window;
- increasing the duration of natural light in the room;
- elegance of construction;
- increase in usable area.
The history of the construction of bay windows goes deep into the Middle Ages. The original purpose of such a protrusion was to provide an overview of the area adjacent to the building.
Bay windows were made with narrow loopholes instead of windows in castles and fortresses for the convenience of their defense. The protruding part of the fortress not only provided a large viewing angle, but also made it possible to fire in different directions.
Epochs change, but bay windows still remain an important link in the architecture of many countries around the world. People noticed other useful features of this layout.
The bay window not only provides a panoramic view, but also allows more light to enter the room. Unlike a conventional window opening, light enters the bay window from three sides at once.
This not only increases the level of illumination in the room, but also increases the duration of light exposure.
A room with a bay window located on the south side of the building will be illuminated from dawn to dusk.
The building design, which includes a bay window, departs from the usual rectangular shape.
Thanks to this, the building acquires a refined, elegant style. A rounded or prismatic projection gives the house an original and elegant look.
A bay window, unlike a balcony, increases the living space of a room. For this reason, bay windows began to be often used in the middle of the last century.
In Russia in those years, many houses with projections were built. The reason for this was not only saving energy resources, but also increasing living space.
At the end of the twentieth century, projects for economical rapid construction began to be approved more often, and bay windows began to be used less and less.
Beautiful, functional houses were replaced by “Khrushchev” buildings. The uniformity of buildings significantly accelerated their construction.
Often such houses were built from standard reinforced concrete blocks. On small area was located maximum amount apartments
By creating a house project with one or several bay windows, you can not only increase the area and save energy resources, but also emphasize individuality. Each such house is unusual and beautiful in its own way.
A project can be created with a combination of different architectural styles, which expands the scope for the designer's eye. Doing individual project, you can easily achieve a unique structure.
What types of bay windows are there?
House designs with bay windows are very diverse. Layout modern houses allows you to harmoniously fit into the design different kinds protrusions
The most commonly used types are:
- rectangular;
- semicircular;
- polygonal;
Due to the ease of execution, rectangular or square shape protrusions is the most common.
The easiest way to make such a bay window is in wooden house, buildings made of brick or concrete blocks. The layout of a rectangular overhang does not require any special knowledge.
Despite the simplicity in design and construction, such projections are no less practical and functional than other types.
The number of windows in this case depends on the depth of the protrusion. If it has the shape of a rectangle with short sides, then there is one wide window along the front wall. There may be no windows on the side walls, or they may be narrow.
Venetian bay window - this is how the protrusions of a semicircular or oval shape. Without any doubt, this is the most elegant and stylish option.
Such a protrusion can be placed not only in the center of the wall, but also replace one of the corners of the building with it.
Such a design move can transform the entire appearance of the building, making it original and unique.
Round structures are easiest to fit into a house made of brick or aerated concrete. In buildings made of wood or other materials, such bay windows will also look great, but achieving the correct shape when using wooden beams is quite difficult.
The polygonal shape of the structure allows this type to be used when designing buildings made of any materials.
A frame house with a polyhedron bay window looks very interesting. In buildings made of timber, this option can also be easily implemented.
The ledge can be made part of not only a country house or a one-story house. Houses with an attic and a bay window look original.
You can use a protruding structure during construction multi-storey building. The two-story house with two different bay windows takes on the appearance of a real Gothic castle.
Often there is such a combination: a full-fledged bay window on the ground floor with an open terrace or balcony on the upper floors.
In a house with an attic, on the platform formed by the ledge, you can arrange a closed greenhouse. An option with a high open terrace is also possible.
The design of a house with a protrusion along the entire plane of one of the walls also looks interesting. In this case, the bay window can form both parts different rooms, and a separate room with exits to different rooms.
Technically, you can place the ledge on any side of the building, but it will be much more practical to use it if it faces south. You can use stained glass glazing on the second floor of the building.
Interior design features
Planning a small country house or capital house with an attic, it is important to remember that any protruding structure complicates construction.
You need to be more demanding about the quality of building materials in order to avoid weakening the building frame.
The ledge can be attached to an already finished building, but it is much better to build from scratch on a common foundation.
In this case, the design will be more reliable. This is especially true for two-story houses, buildings with an attic, and frame buildings of any type.
If there is a second floor, it is especially difficult to create a monolithic interfloor ceiling in the protrusion area.
All these nuances must be taken into account at the design stage, even if you plan to build a small country house.
From a protruding structure interior interior rooms only wins.
This gives not only an increase in the area of the room and additional illumination, but also an original shape of the room. This approach allows you to use any design for decoration.

When decorating the second floor in a modern style, it is recommended to use cool shades.
In combination with an abundance of natural light, this will not only emphasize the individuality of the room, but also give a feeling of the limitlessness of the space.
Often, a two-story bay window is glazed to its full height. However, this option is not very convenient for the first floor, since in this case there is a view not only from the house, but also from the outside. Not everyone wants to live in such a “glass” house.
