Sorry for the belated reply, Rod. Yes, I would totally be interested in that!

I’m inspired by these round windows. I build a line of mini-floating homes, Eco-Sea Cottages, and I’m “underwhelmed” by the square and rectangular windows offered to me by most window manufacturers. As noted above, the round windows that ARE offered are typically too small to suit the grand vistas outside of a floating home….and the small, New England type round windows are…too small.
I’m thinking I’d like to offer one 5′ circular window — maybe even 2, with 1 along either side of the living room — and then add a matching, circular window seat, perhaps about 24″ wide, that would follow, say, about 35-to-45-degrees of the lower perimeter of the window. This curved, padded chaise, it’s fixed shape approximately matching the curve of a hammock, would offer seating/lounging along the lower rim of the window. How comfy to read, or simply daydream, in such a seat, with a watery world only inches beyond the circular glass pane.
But then, sometimes I’m taken by too whimsical of ideas. Is there anyone else reading this who would be similarly intrigued by this type of big, circular window with adjoining curved lounge seat/chaise, following a portion of the window’s lower circumference? Thanks for your reply. Rodrick Gibbons

Thank you. I am planning mods to my own hand-modified old house and the greater round window concept had not occurred to me.
