I always think windows placed only at the very top look a bit odd from the outside. But from the inside, I find it really unattractive. Does it improve once you have furniture in front of them? I don’t think I could get used to it.
What was your reason for this design? More wall space for furniture or to prevent people from looking in? Or were there other reasons?

I think it was because of the height difference with the neighbor?

The height difference wouldn’t be a problem; at first, we had planned regular windows as well. It was mainly about privacy protection because my parents and grandmother have their houses directly behind us. Besides, we quite like these long, narrow windows. We also have one in the kitchen (see the kitchen picture thread). And, by the way, it’s more practical for the furniture in the living room too.

Ah, okay, that makes sense—things like that do exist. As someone from a flat region, I hadn’t considered that at all.

PS: I meant the difference in elevation.

How different tastes can be.
Looking at the wall, I would think I was standing in a basement.
