What you've done is a standard architectural trick called "Spandrel Glass"; this is precisely how those downtown highrises that look like they are solid glass from the outside actually contain some solid walls as well as interstitial space where all the HVAC ducts go. A "blanked" window which matches the real windows hides all that stuff. <br /> <br />Incidentally, this is an excellent idea for those who want to transform a bedroom or other windowed space into a train room, with a continuous backdrop. The black plywood can just be nailed up to the window casing, and thus be removable when it comes time to sell the house.
