I recently stayed in a lovely chalet on an estuary in Brittany. It was basically a log cabin, but well disguised as something far more sophisticated. It was built in the late 60′s with some great design features such as these wide horizontal windows that give an irresistible framed letter box view of the landscape beyond and a wider perspective than more traditional rectangular, taller and narrower windows. These windows also provide more space for storage above them, such as the kitchen cupboards in this shot.

Sorry about the poor quality of the picture, it was snapped in a hurry.
Horizontal windows – capture the landscape!
