Weird to include Oriel windows on there - that's more a type of feature (a bay window that does not touch the ground) than a style of window. You can have a Gothic Oriel (like what's in OP), or a Norman Oriel, or Brutalist Oriels...
Pre-Romanesque all the way. Walls two meters thick and tiny window slits. If your house can't withstand an extended artillery barrage what's even the point.
In my region of France, there are a lot of old apartments with oriels, but less decorated than this one. It's great, there are often little benches under the windows.
The two Rose windows are really impractical for actually, you know, looking through, but damn do they look fascinating. I could not see much out of those for hours.

Gothic or neo-Gothic if it's a house. The are no other correct answers.

Those don't look very goth.
Need more black paint.

“Black Oriel” is a cool Gothic band name.

The only ones worth considering are Rayonnant, Oriel, and decorated Gothic, honestly.

I like the Norman window. They look to be the easiest to clean.

An oriel is any bay window that starts above the ground. There are plenty of modernist examples as well.

Yes but they are practical for your average 12th Century Raid, and for that I love them.
Good luck shooting an arrow through that!

I wouldn't even be mad if someone managed to shoot an arrow through that, I'd be impressed!

Y'all picking Gothic are seriously missing the Nook potential of the Oriel

Rayonnant and Decorated Gothic hands down.

Anything that gives trefoils, quatrefoils and spires. I'm easy.
