What do you think about [...] a large garden window outside?

I had to look at the picture to see what you meant. I've never in my
life ever seen such a construct, not imagined such a thing.

I cannot see any 'pro'. 'Con's:

- More glass to break, clean, lose heat.
- Glass angled to break due to falling objects. (Hail, branches.)
- In the way of ladder when cleaning gutter, painting, etc.
- In the way if you need to dig close to house. (Bathroom drain.)
- In the way cutting grass, raking leaves, etc.
- Damage to house during install. (Ref: in-wall vent pipe & wires.)
- Damage to house if it works loose.
- Looks ugly from outside.
- Dangerous manouver in slippery tub for view better than current.

We have one in the kitchen, my wife has several plants and we also grow
some herbs in it. No gutters or anything to paint in the area, I am 6'5"
and can almost walk under it. No different to install vs a standard
window, and my neighbour actually likes it, seeing our plants in the
window, when she looks out hers.
