Often, when we see examples of window seats, they’re on the interior of the windows, but when Neuman Hayner Architects were creating this house, they placed the window seats on the exterior of the house.

Each window on the house, has a simple bench-like seat that’s been coated in a thin fiber cement, to keep with the overall modern aesthetic of the house.

Even though the window below is tall and narrow, the architects still added a window seat, however it continues along the wall
