When working on a historic property, maintaining the original profiles and sightlines can't be over emphasized. If a window can't be restored, it must be replicated down to the last detail. @TheMarvinBrand has a 3/32" tolerance. And that pretty sums up the importance of being true to the existing.

Project: 35 West 23rd St Storefront
Before the windows of the residential units above the storefront could be replaced, we first had to determine the condition of the framing. Dimensional lumber undergoes considerable distress in the course of a century. A little prep time saves a lot of headaches later.

American Gothic | The Art Institute of Chicago

The inspiration for one of America's iconic paintings came from a window. Artist Grant Wood saw a so-called Carpenter Gothic-syle window in a farmhouse in Iowa. Using his sister and his dentist as models, Wood elongated their faces to match the lines of the window. The result was, "American Gothic."

If one window can inspire a painting, imagine the masterpiece that could be created with a whole building.

American Gothic | The Art Institute of Chicago Grant Wood, 1930

Just around the corner from us is the @courttreecollective in @industrycity, where they held a “Windows to New York” exhibit.
Windows have been a perspective observed for over a half century by Japanese-born artist Masao Gozu.
First, as a photographer he captured people on film, using their own windows to frame a moment in time.
Then, he sculpted his own windows from rubbble. He resized bricks and made it apppear as if the whole had been taken from one façade, yet it was composed of piecemeal bits to suit his vision.
In a city full of windows, taking a moment to appreciate the role they play in our everyday lives seems only natural.
