About this book

Versatile wooden windows

In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs.

  • 10 simple wooden window designs
  • From retrofitting historical windows to the possibilities of DIY design
  • Precisely designed, handcrafted, highly repairable windows
