Hello everyone,
Our shell construction is nearing completion, and we still have the option to redesign the gable window. It costs about €1100 (the first picture), since it is a custom shape. The attic is intended to be converted into living space in the future. We are currently unsure, as option 1 seems a bit expensive (due to the custom shape), but on the other hand, windows are not frequently replaced in the future.
What do you think about the proposals, and could you suggest any other options?
Thank you!

Shutters are naturally not an option with the pointed shape, which could actually be beneficial for living and sleeping areas.

- Roof windows are also planned to be used.

If the sleeping or living area features a large triangular window and double casement windows, make sure to construct it so that external shading is possible; otherwise, the room will become unbearable. Alternatively, plan for a split air conditioning system from the start.

Ok, the gable window will be a standard double casement window with a width of 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in), designed to be equally or more light-efficient and significantly more cost-effective.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the children’s rooms will also be changed to windows with a parapet.
Thanks to all of you!
