Is that a clear vertical span, or does the wall receive intermediate support from the second floor?
If there is no vertical support, I would design the lateral deflection of all members to L/600 (hjigher than the code of L/360) considering the windows and the fact that it would be considered a window wall. Depending on things here, you may be looking at a 2X8 or 2X10 wall.
If there is support from the second floor, there is really no difficult issue to address.

Can you post a diagram of the wall framing configuration? I just hope that you do not have an intermediate double plate at the second floor line. PLEASE tell me you don't!

The Canadian Wood Council, www.cwc.ca has a tall wall guide for designing single storey tall walls up to 11.9 m (39 ft.) in height. Several of the engineered wood product manufacturers also have guides related to their products.

Or do you mean the walls of the Porte Coche? Is that the same as Port Cochere? But that ceiling is ten feet high. I can't see on plan where you have a tall wall.
