The only thing wrong with this is the weird window design which just screams "Fail!" to me.

Oh my gosh, how relaxing is that view?

Totally relaxing! :)

Oh that looks awesome, a room with a reading cushion and a view.

It is so cool! :)

Oh yeah. I'm there. I actually love that design. It's the top that opens, not the bottom, so everything is cool.

It's almost perfect -- except that I have severe vertigo and that huge top yawning open would probably trigger it. :/

I suspect the window was there before the room got turned into a cozy reading place, so I guess "Fail!" is too strong for me... but yeah, it looks a bit cumbersome. The view makes up for it, though!

The window looks new to me. I think they probably replaced an older one with a 'cool' new one. My problem is that I have severe vertigo and that low bottom window combined with that huge top yawning open would probably trigger it. :/

Nah, the frame is corroded in places, and the whole fixational system of the thing screams "historical" to me - 1980s at the latest, probably older. Of course, it might be "vintage"...

Yes, I can see how that would be a problem for someone suffering from vertigo! Personally I'd be more worried about bad smells when the wind comes in (either from the sea, or from that next-roof chimney) or about insects. XD

--LOL! Well yes, I agree there! Better to keep the window closed then and enjoy that gorgeous view. :)

Precisely! With such strong walls, the air inside is bound to be cooler than outside, anyway...

Oh yeah!
