Looking up at two columns of oriel windows on a red sandstone tenement on Elderpark Street in Glasgow. Projecting windows allow more light into rooms, but can hinder the passage of people and vehicles along the street. Oriel windows provide a solution to this by allowing the upper floors to get as much light as possible, while not interrupting movements on the street below.

Love these oriel windows on a 1900 tenement on Greenhead Street in the East End of Glasgow, especially the repeating pattern they create, and the extra details above and below the second storey ones.
