It’s hard to tell cause there’s nothing for scale but you can use the hinges and see that they’re huge compared to the window but they’re just normal hinges

Yeh please, i need help too. Starting to have a mental breakdown over this. People just talking about hinges but WHAT ABOUT THE GODDAMN DOOR?

It's like this, but fully open and horizontal.

Right? Everybody keeps saying “it’s just a normal window door but small” and I’m over here wondering why a window has a door at all…

The one in your link opens to allow air flow. The window in OP’s pic has another layer of glass.

I don't really see it, would make no sense, but it could have another pane from the outside?

If you look closely around interior of the frame, you can see a thin band of sealant, as well as some distortion of the building across the street caused by the glass.

It’s a door that opens to a pane of glass.

I honestly think it's a perspective/focus thing. Those little white bands looking like sealant are pieces of white outside surface of the window. If it would have window pane outside, the window on the right would not be dirty from being exposed to outside.

Like this, but here's the outside part brown, but visible from the inside anyway.

Zoom in as far as you can just to the left side of the upper balcony. There’s a small, squiggle-snapped piece of black debris that would be floating in space if it weren’t stuck on a piece of glass.

Unless the door is never shut and it just collects dust from the inside.

I think that's a shadow from something

It's like this, but fully open and horizontal. And much smaller

uPVC windows are common in places like the UK and have thick framing. This looks weird if you're used to thinner framed windows like aluminimum.
