Pitoresque Windows

Windows just 50 mm thin. Lightness, which often suits architecture the most. Recently, due to technical requirements, windows have become bulkier, thickened into robust frames. Pitoresk windows are still delicate with current demands, both from the interior and the exterior. They were developed and manufactured by the company JANOŠÍK.

Delicacy in windows is nothing new. There is elegance in delicacy, which was present in old windows. In old houses, it is striking when the original windows are replaced with new thick ones. We have gotten used to not being bothered by this coarseness in new ones. Pitoresk windows bring back the forgotten elegance of past times to the windows.

Replaceable exterior frame

On wooden windows, after some time, the outdoor conditions are noticeable. Some see the addition to beauty in natural aging, while others demand a perfect surface permanently. Pitoresk windows have a removable front exterior part. It can be easily replaced or disassembled, refurbished, and reattached.

“A smaller window in a room creates a fundamentally different yet equally strong atmosphere. More intimate. More spiritual. The view and the light that comes in are more intense. From the outside, the houses are more picturesque. I began to notice this in the alleys of Malá Strana. In the wooden chapel of John Pawson, where the entire elevated space was concentrated into one small window, it was the clearest and strongest in the atmosphere. And then I got a caravan. An old one. A beautiful one. A circus one. At first, the plan was for a large window in place of one wall. But it was in those small windows where the vigor was. The old windows with a crank remained, and Pitoresk windows began to emerge with us.” J.

Large-format glazed walls will certainly remain an indispensable connection with the surrounding garden in houses. However, equal attention should also be given to smaller windows.
