Oriel
A oriel is a projection in Encorbellement arranged on one or more levels of a Façade.
It can marry various aspects and forms (to two, three or four faces) and be surmounted of a Toit or small a Terrasse with Garde-corps.
Remote heir to our old watch tower S, the oriel can also be indicated by the Anglicisme bow-window , term which now professionally indicates the sliding glazed frames consisted of opening in portions cylinders with panes being able to be plane or cylindrical.
The advantage of this type of construction, apart from the artistic originality of the frontage of the building, is to be able to enjoy a little more clearness and solar heat, in addition to one the best seen on the street (its initial military function).
