   Hello,

After the unofficial presentation in a false scientific document [1], I’m proud to announce you my latest application with SNIR technique [2].

This window is a combinaison of SNIR and SNOT.

When two 1x1 parts are placed in diagonal and turned with a 45° angle, (so the two parts are parallel) the gap between the 1x1 parts is exactly the thickness of a tile.

Well, to be picky, it’s not *exactly* the same thickness. A tile is 0.4 “stud-widths” thick, but the distance between 2 such windows is about 0.414 (square-root of 2 minus 1) stud-widths. Over a larger area you would start to notice the difference, but luckily LEGO is quite forgiving of such tolerances :)

   The width of a tile added with a stud height is 3 plates (or a brick or 2 plates + 1 tile) high.

Again not exact but definitely close enough :)

   So, using this technique, I built the window where 1x1 parts are the glasses and the tiles the borders. At last, this structure is placed vertically.

The window looks wonderful!
