ᐅ Reinforced concrete columns at the corners of the bay window

Hello,

On the ground floor, the structural engineer has planned reinforced concrete columns in the (inner) corners of the bay window. Both the energy consultant and the shell builder have never seen anything like this before. Is this necessary? Has anyone else encountered this?

We don’t like the mixing of materials (aerated concrete versus reinforced concrete with insulation).

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the picture with the description, @11ant, that could be how it is. We will have the structural engineers explain it to us on Wednesday and see if they justify the reinforced concrete columns the same way. If so, that would be acceptable...
