Bay windows and balconies project outward past the walls of buildings enhancing the interior and exterior of almost any house.  Bay windows allow more natural light to enter a home than traditional windows and provide views in three directions.  Balconies take opening a window to the next level by allowing physical access to the outside while keeping a ‘roof over one’s head’ just a step or two away.

In most towns they are also one of the only projections from an exterior wall permitted to extend beyond an established building setback essentially extending one’s living space...let’s keep that between you and me. 😉

In our ninth Talk, we’ll explore various types of balconies and bay windows to see how they enhance the exterior of historic and newly-built house in and around Naperville

Walk the Talk  #9

On the Saturday August 29th, we’ll Walk the Talk (short walking tour)  to see firsthand how bay windows and balconies have been used over the years in Naperville’s beloved Historic District. No separate R.S.V.P. will be necessary, but the details will only be announced to those attending the August 25th event, or by special inquiry.
