Drywall Returns -- If the goal is to call attention to the opening itself or the window frame, choosing a drywall return is a no-hassle way to trim your window. This can save on finish carpentry and preserves the planar wall aesthetic without the need for reveal trims. This process is used often in commercial construction; it entails wrapping or returning the Sheetrock at the window perimeter back to the window frame. This takes the traditional place of the wood extension jamb and provides a clean, no-frills look.

Ultrathin Trim -- In a space dominated by the view, this steel window system has been designed to get out of the way. Note the dark tone of the frame, which recedes, and the narrow sight lines. The idea is supported by the trim surrounding the window, which is equally minimal. It’s just enough to conceal the fastening of the windows to the structure but no more. The trim complements the interior palette, which oscillates between the cool steel, stone and concrete, and the warm Douglas fir, and highlights the thickness of the wall plane.

Difference with a TDD

Q

Photo

Tubular Daylighting Devices - TDDs "are reflective cylinders or pipes installed between the roof and ceiling, with a clear plastic dome. The bottoms of the tubes are diffused or glazed to prevent glaring beams of light and to ensure a soft glow."
