Try modelling a mansard roof with a wall. You can then use any of the standard windows, or create your own custom one using slabs.

Hello WhiteMan!

I would have used objects available in ArchiCAD even if they differ a little form Real Life. Use tilted (slanted) walls as roof. Then use a Special Window: W Arched Fix and add a Masonry Arch. This will not bring you entirely to a finished result as I see that you wish to have plastered bricks om each side of the window. Here you may improvise with for example Cube (from Basic Shapes) on each side.

Good luck!

(Free stuff from my new books on Real Life solutions to ArchiCAD problems)

Complex Profiles can also address the arch part of this problem.

I made three nested complex profile fills, extruding each as a wall.

Then , I took the basic, thick profile and added it, merged with the original walls as a tilted beam to simulate some roof slope over the top [the real detail not known to me]
