It gives any, even the simplest building, an elegant look.

Stylish modern facade

The prototype of the bay window can be called watchtowers that vaguely resemble it, which were built in medieval castles. Niches open on three sides made it possible to notice the approaching enemy from afar. Over time they lost their combat value, and became a decorative element. In Gothic architecture it was called a “lantern”; in Russian architecture hexagonal “drums” were common.

IN modern projects cottages with one or two bay windows in front, columns, they are assigned not only a decorative, but also a functional role.

In addition, bay windows are usually glazed along the entire perimeter, which improves light and insolation parameters. This article will discuss the design of houses with a bay window.

Origin of the bay window

• The sites of ancient castles are considered its ancestors. Initially, the architectural ledges were intended for viewing and shooting from the walls of the fortress. Thanks to them, the enemy who appeared in the adjacent territory was visible from afar. It was possible to have time to prepare to fight back.
• Later, the bay window began to be used only for peaceful purposes. The height of the towers became smaller, and the narrow openings for loopholes turned into beautiful panoramic windows. The protruding figured part of the facade began to be used by architects to give appearance residential buildings of elegance and aristocracy. History has not preserved the name of the first architect who first came up with this idea.

• There were completely different reasons for the construction of bay windows in high-rise buildings of Stalin's times. Back then, architectural protrusions were not included in house designs for decoration. In the era of industrialization of Russia in the 30-50s, this was not the main thing. It’s just that houses with bay windows compared to buildings without protruding structures were from the point of view performance qualities more profitable.
• In them, thanks to the bay window, the living space of premises with the same type of layout and building area was increased, the time of using natural light was extended, and therefore energy was saved. In addition, there was an opportunity to add individuality to the interior of the home.
• IN budget options bay windows no longer fit into small-sized “Khrushchev” buildings and later standard five-story buildings. But other times have come. Today in housing construction, the bay window, as an architectural decoration, is at the peak of popularity. It allows you to get away from the templates of mass construction, emphasizing individuality and excellent design taste.

For house projects various types different geometries of architectural protrusions are used. This is due to the features load-bearing structures and the qualities of the main building materials to take the desired shape.

• The most common form is square or rectangular. She doesn't demand complex structures and is easily designed in houses made of bricks, blocks, as well as in projects of frame and panel buildings. Such protrusions can easily fit into the interior of any style, even without knowledge of design laws. Despite their simplicity, they are effective and practical.

• Round shape traditionally called an element Venetian style. Such a bay window easily fits into any corner of the building or in the center of one of the walls. It can be seen more often in houses made of bricks and blocks. Less common in panel and frame houses due to the complexity of calculations and installation. In buildings made of timber and logs, this form of bay windows cannot be used.
• Semicircular shape The bay window, of course, stands out for its elegance. But only if the design solution is chosen correctly. Otherwise, the facade of the building will look clumsy and even funny.
• Complex design of a multifaceted bay window- an intermediate version of traditional forms. It is most often used in houses made of timber, but is suitable for buildings made of other materials. Allows you to use a lot of design options.

Features of one-story and two-story houses with a bay window

• In the project one-story house The bay window can be placed on any side of the facade. It can go both outside and into the courtyard or garden. As a rule, the entrance to the bay window is located from the living room or bedroom.

In this way, you can significantly improve the lighting of interior spaces with sunlight. For an elegant decorative effect on the protruding part of the facade, you can use colored stained glass glazing.
• In houses with two floors, in one version the bay window is built into the wall of the first floor; the roof of the protruding structure is the balcony platform. Some prefer a project with a bay window 2 floors high. Layout options with 2-3 bay windows are not excluded, but a large glass area can cause heat loss.

• Therefore, the design and most accurate construction of a bay window structure should be carried out by specialists. Even a small error in calculations and installation can lead to distortion of walls or ceilings, which will negatively affect the strength and durability of the structure.

What to consider during construction

The construction of walls for a bay window requires competent laying of bricks or blocks. The windows should fit well into such a façade. This is especially important for round and semicircular structures. Despite the fact that externally the bay window is a decoration of the house, the design of a two-story house with a bay window extension must take into account that its walls are load-bearing. Strength calculations for them are done in the same way as for other walls.

Roof installation is specific. For the bay window ledge required additional elements– valleys, roofing material, support beams. The protruding position of the bay window makes the roof vulnerable to gusts of wind. To cover the roof of the bay window, a separate calculation of the angles of inclination is made, and the safety margin is calculated. The joints with the main roof are treated with sealant.
