bow window
Rounded glass protrusion
A bow window is a curved bay window that projects outward from a building's wall, forming an arc rather than the angular shape of a standard bay window.
The curve typically consists of multiple window panes set at gentle angles to create a rounded effect: The bow window flooded the breakfast nook with morning light.
