Could you maybe share some tips on how your windows are designed? Currently, the windows in the old building are being replaced, but neither interior nor exterior window sills or the window recess depth were considered by the previous owner. This means the window is basically flush with the wall, with only about 1–2cm (less than 1 inch) of depth.
I had already gotten used to this, but when you’re doing renovations, you naturally wonder if it could be done better, especially since it’s supposed to last longer.
Currently, it looks like in the picture.
The window is in the kitchen and sits about 10cm (4 inches) above the countertop. Do you think this height is okay? Or what would you improve overall?

Currently, the windows in the old building are supposed to be replaced, both inside and outside, but the previous owner did not consider any window sills or the window depth. This means the window is basically almost flush with the wall, apart from 1-2cm (0.8 inches).How thick is the exterior wall? Windows are usually much thinner than walls.
What does it look like from the outside?
Wtf??
Inside, there is a distance of 16-17cm (6-7 inches) from the window to the edge of the window sill for a 36.5cm (14.5 inches) brick. However, this distance is determined by the roller shutter box, nothing else. Without a roller shutter, you need to ask the window manufacturer what their standard is.

I should have mentioned that this is a prefabricated house. The stud depth is 90mm (3.5 inches). With exterior sheathing (2x OSB double layered), it becomes 120mm (4.7 inches), and inside there is one 10mm (0.4 inch) OSB panel plus one 12.5mm (0.5 inch) drywall board, totaling 122.5mm (4.8 inches).

122.5mm (4.82 inches)Modern windows typically have a frame depth between 78 and 92 mm (3.07 and 3.62 inches). When you add the roller shutter guide rail, you basically have no choice but to reinstall the windows exactly as they were.
