Window Tutorial

Today we’ll cover three useful window designs for a variety of buildings.

We’ll start with a reversed 1×1 brick window technique. The technic brick gives a convenient stud reversal so that the bottom side of the 1×1 bricks will show in the finished window.

I like using six 1×1 bricks to give a nice format for the window, but if you prefer a taller set up you could easily use all four studs of height from the 2×4 plate. In this case, some technic half pins let me reverse stud direction again to add a wood sill over the window.

Here’s a view of the assembly from the back.

And the finished example.

Isaac used these windows several times for houses in his Streets of Daydelon model.

Next up is a simple stained glass window.

Two lattices are connected to each other via the transparent plates on back.

And this setup fits flush at the top with regular studs up building.

Quite a lot of builders have used this design, or a variation on it over the years.

And our third window utilizes 1×1 round plate with hole, 1×2 plate with rail, and three stud long bars.

It’s a simple configuration, but gives a nice medieval window.

Let us know if you have some other window designs you would like us to cover in a tutorial, or if you have questions on any of these.

Thanks for reading!
