These windows are also known as a garden windows. This is a window that extends out, creating a wide windowsill for plants to be placed on.

It is made of multiple window panels to create a glass enclosure that extends beyond the exterior surface of the wall. It allows for ample light to enter the room and helps plants that are placed in the window to grow.

These are typically placed in the kitchen simply because that's the room where the family spends the most time, and can best appreciate the plants.
