TBH the buttress makes it look more like a bodge job.
Nowt so odd as an architects "taste" in my experience. Especially when they are damned sure that they will never have to live in the house/use the building. Edited by Andrew_C
Now with added "n".

Where abouts are you, got a dehumidifier in the loft

 

My ps old house had a window like that, it had no support underneath and we used to sit in the bay as kids... Was always condensated

Yeap go with the polystyrene first as it will be insulation that is the problem, personally I'd go with Poly, building foil then maybe even glass batts before adding another bit of wood underneath it. Once that is done check the drain holes in the windows joinery are not blocked. May be forth trying to get some insulation in the bit above too if it has not been insulated.

 

If it is already double glased you may get a little extra from a third layer but given the thermal sink that is the lack of insulation of the rest of it, it would make no difference till the rest is fixed up a bit.

 

I think it will be much better to try and fix the problem rather than treat the symptom by burning through towels and power running all sorts of gear to simply alleviate and not solve the problem.

Get a big sheet of perspex and some sealant. Fix the perspex, across the inside opening of the window bay and seal it. Fill the window area with water and put in some goldfish. Sorted. :)

I'd had the same thought, or heat it properly and bung a bearded dragon or something in there. :p
