I would create that as an extrusion. 

1.  starting with 3 new reference planes that center on each window and perpendicular to the window.  

2.  create an extrusion that is basically a rectangular block that sits under the window.

3.  create a series of three voids from each of the three reference planes I created earlier.  each void would have the profile to match your mass.  each void would cut the extrusion in its own path.. 

4.  done...

you can do it by using Mass > Extrusion with Profiles , then scale the Profiles as shown in my screencast:

Thank you so much! This was beyond my skill set. Your video clearly demonstrated how to create this shape.
