I bet if this kind of thing were a little more robust it could also serve well in the winter with blocking some of the wind. At night of course. There is big debate about innie vs. outtie windows. The innie people say that having the window recessed protects it from the weather increasing the window temperature. I bet this would have a very similar effect. People back in the day knew what they were doing when it came to shutters and chimneys in the center of the house. They only knew about insulation in ice houses though.
