The windows in question are quite tall for full casement windows. I'm very pleased with the Pella windows on my last house. Pella Windows on Main Street in Pella, Iowa, makes a casement window that is swing in casement on the lower half only and stationary above not allowing so much rain in on such a tall window, but they were expensive. Rather than double hung, the two in the back pictured here, as Older writes, would be cool with lower half casements with right and left hinges swinging out to the property lines like the shutters on the middle window. I've been following this one. Still, overall, well done, hipchickindc. This is a very positive and creative advancement for this neighborhood, cool carriage house, green roof and all.

The carriage house was taken apart and then literally rebuilt to the original design with the original bricks. I'm glad that there's some appreciation for the design. The developers are architects, so they had fun with the space. Older, the property is located in a historic district, so I know there were restrictions on window design.

When will the US move from double hung to in-swing casement windows though? This project would work better for me if the two main back windows were nice casements.

It's the hanger (hungry anger). Sausages take forever to cook on a G. Foreman. Sorry, I sounded a bit jerkish there. It’s the hanger (hungry anger). Sausages take forever to cook on a G. Foreman.
