MALE PROFESSOR: And on this ranch model, there's one more important feature that's not present in the Cape Cod.

MALE PROFESSOR: It has a large window in the living room, called a picture window, which gives you kind of a framed view of the outside.

MALE PROFESSOR: The way the ranch is set up, when you look out this picture window, from the living room, you're looking out from the back of the house instead of from the front.

请问，这里的the way，是不是等于 In this way? 如果是，这种介词结构放句首，是做方式状语呢？
