Do you know of any houses that have windows that open outward like a set of double doors? I need a big second story window like that. Modern-ish.

 

i haven't watched a lot of movies n years, but i'm thinking like the kind they flew out of in Peter Pan and Hook. lol

That might take some hunting. Most french doors open inwards, which keeps them a bit safer from getting messed with by the weather. Architectural standards are a thing. Stage sets might be a bit different.

If you can find a modular kit where the window and doorframes are separate from the walls, you could probably kitbash it by just turning the windows and frame around. Check Collective3d's store. He's done a lot of nice modularl assets.

I'd have said UK casement windows and French doors usually opened outwards, it's perhaps a regional/national thing.

..the first apartment I rented here in Portland (when it was still inexensive) had casement windows which opened outwards . Wonderful Art Deco era building built in 1930.

If you want them in a kit, then look at https://www.daz3d.com/collective3d-create-a-room-xpack-3 which has many doors and windows, including French windows.

Egyptian revival!  Truly little gems here and there.  Sadly, this architecture form never really caught on.  Beautiful building, though.

Previously all our (Finland) windows and doors opened outwards, it's only during the last 20-30 years that windows have started opening inwards to help cleaning the outside surfaces.

Our house in Florida, and older home like from the 50's, had windows that we had to crank they opened outward. We also had a door to the patio that had jelousy windows. If you've never seen jelousy windows they are individual glass slats that cranked open. The were easy to break a slat and you had to go to the hardware store, yeah hardware store there were no Home depot or Lowe's, to replace the glass slats.

Louver(sp?) windows. Not difficult to clean, impossible to shut the wind or the cold out and tended to spoil the appearance of just about any period earlier than 1950s. Also lowered the resale value of the place. Part of the Modernism toolkit.
