About this asset

A modern glazed aperture for external envelope drafting, this Revit window family features a slim white frame with integrated vertical louvres. The unit features an elongated rectangular vertical profile framed in a crisp white casing, incorporating a horizontal transom bar dividing the upper top-hung sash from the primary glazed light below. Behind the exterior glazing sits an internal array of slender vertical slats or security louvres, providing both privacy and rhythmic visual texture to the opening. Designed with minimal exterior sightlines, the assembly sits flush within a standard masonry reveal, projecting subtly beyond the exterior brick face with precise edge definition.

The download is a 276 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.

As a native Revit family, this window component inserts directly into hosted wall assemblies, cutting the required masonry opening automatically. Adjust type and instance parameters within the Revit project browser to align sill heights and head elevations with adjacent fenestration schedules. Assigned material IDs allow architects to customize internal glazing transparency, frame finishes, and slat materials for both technical elevation drawings and rendered external visualisations.

Suited for contemporary residential facades, multi-family housing blocks, boutique commercial offices, and educational facilities, this unit fits naturally in stairwells, corridor daylight bays, and utility spaces requiring vertical daylighting. The combination of operable top ventilation and protective vertical louvres makes it practical for ground-floor or public-facing elevations where passive airflow and privacy are balanced. Architects search for this asset under terms like top hung window, vertical louvre glazing, narrow wall opening, and transom window family.
