Demerara windows were once found on every street in Guyana. They adorned cottages, mansions, department stores, hospitals, offices and places of business. They are now in demise. Demerara windows are a uniquely Guyanese adaptation to our climate and tradewinds. They draw on local materials and a sophisticated understanding of building design and airflow.
It was a pleasure to host an illustrated talk about Demerara Windows by Wayne McWatt (of the Wooden Architecture (Guyana) Heritage Facebook Group).
