Stacked awning windows are composed of a vertical arrangement of sashes that swing up and outwards all at once with the use of a handle. They allow one to control the amount of airflow by adjusting the angle at which the sashes are rotated. Compared to louver windows, which are also handle operated but are composed of horizontally stacked frameless glass panes, stacked awning windows are more airtight and watertight.

Index of Window Sounds and Movements
The Index of Window Sounds and Movements is a project to observe and extract the sounds and movements of operable windows in order to understand how we perceive windows with our ears and eyes. This is the first research project of Window Products Inside, and it is being conducted as a collaboration between product designer Yoh Komiyama and the Window Research Institute, with videography by Tomohiro Okazaki.

Window Products Inside
Windows Products Inside is a research project initiated by product designer Yoh Komiyama. By extracting and redefining the various meanings that are implicit to the window as an object, the project hopes to uncover what is needed so that windows can create a diversity of new lifestyles, cultures, and new customs.
