bay windows
Outward-curving glass walls
Bay windows are windows that project outward from an exterior wall, creating a recessed area inside.
The projection typically has three or more panels set at angles, forming a bay.
They add architectural interest, expand interior space, and let in light from multiple directions: The breakfast nook has a lovely bay window overlooking the garden.
In slang, bay window refers to a protruding belly.
