Hello everyone,
I’m new here and trying my hand at my first post. We are planning to build our house next year. We are considering constructing a log house (with straight log beams). We would like windows that open outward, but also shutters. Does anyone have experience with this? Are there any proven solutions? Historically, this was common in Northern Europe. Thank you very much for your suggestions.

And what is the reason for the windows to open outwards? Space?

I bet on extravagance instead.
The post should have at least 5 words.

The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to clear the window sills when you open the windows.

One could also consider sliding window solutions (vertical or horizontal).

This way, all the unused stuff can stay on the windowsill 😀

Installing a ventilation system means you don't have to open all the windows anymore…

or with double casement windows, you only need to open one sash, while the other can remain closed.
