Newer homes seem to have a bank of smaller windows spaced closely together rather than one large "picture" window like you see on 70's ranch style homes. Instead of one large 8' wide window, they might put in three windows separated by a group of three 2x6's for framing in about the same space. Is that just a matter of style, or have they switched for some other technical reason like better load support or more energy efficiency?
