If you want to fit a big group of people, you know, the boardroom or the big room, you need like a much wider window.
If you want to see, you know, just grandma and the kids, you can do smaller windows.
So everybody has a seat at the table or everybody has a sense of where they belong and there's kind of a sense of presence that's obeyed.
