Port Washington occupies a peninsula with water on three sides, and the housing is arranged around that geography rather than around a grid. The land rises from the harbor, so a great many houses sit on slopes with their principal rooms turned toward the water, and the village has the layered stock that a place with a long history accumulates: early twentieth-century houses near the village center, larger properties on the higher ground and out toward the point, denser and more modest housing in the neighborhoods closer to the water’s edge. The peninsula’s sand mining past is the reason parts of the shoreline are shaped the way they are. What matters for windows is simple enough: the elevations people care about most are the ones facing open water, and those are the elevations that take wind, driven rain and salt.
We specify by aspect here rather than by house. Water-facing elevations get corrosion-resistant hardware and water management detailed for driven rain; sheltered elevations do not need to carry that cost. On sloping sites we look at what is happening outside the lower-level walls as well as inside them. Older village houses get sizes taken from the openings so the sash proportion survives the replacement.
We will walk the house by aspect, because on this peninsula which way a window faces matters more than what floor it is on.
