This contemporary glazed window is a wall-hosted Revit family featuring dark metal framing set within a deep splayed masonry embrasure. Formed as a wall-hosted architectural fenestration unit, the assembly showcases two vertical glazed lites enclosed by dark metal framing. The window unit sits recessed within a substantial wall opening designed with an angled embrasure or splayed reveal along the jambs and sill. This deep reveal geometry accentuates natural daylight penetration while providing articulated shadow lines along the exterior facade plane. Clean planar intersections define the interface between the host structure, sill, and framing profiles, creating a crisp modern aesthetic suited for thick masonry, concrete, or cavity wall constructions.
The download is a 369 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Load the RFA component directly into your active Revit project and host it into standard exterior architectural walls. The opening cuts clean apertures through compound wall assemblies, properly resolving internal layers and reveals. Switch between coarse, medium, and fine detail levels to control visibility in plan, elevation, and 3D views while coordinating glazing schedules, rough opening callouts, and frame material parameters across working drawing packages.
Ideal for contemporary residential homes, urban townhouses, boutique hotels, and civic developments requiring textured facade depth. The splayed reveal detailing suits thick monolithic facades, rammed earth walls, or deep insulated rainscreen assemblies. Architects and technical coordinators looking for recessed punched openings, splayed jamb fenestration, or contemporary embrasure windows can coordinate this family effortlessly alongside perimeter insulation and interior drylining packages throughout schematic and construction phases.
