The footage is dedicated to the restoration of the Vega apartment building on the 14, Kryukov Canal Embankment. Currently, specialists are restoring windows in this building.

Of course, windows are our showcase, like all our architecture. This is our treasure, our jewelry. We must cherish and preserve it. Each window indicated the status of the floor and its purpose. If this is the mezzanine, where the richest people live, respectively, here is the richest setting. A floor above is for poorer people, the window will be different. The poorest live upstairs, and the windows will be appropriate.

There are also windows cut later in the blind capital walls of firewalls, most often in technical rooms, for example, in a pantry. Modern architects and designers prefer panoramic windows.
