ᐅ The front-facing windows are suboptimal and need to be improved.

Hello,
we have already started construction and the shell is complete. Unfortunately, looking back now, I find the front elevation bothers me. Even during the planning phase, I wasn’t completely convinced, but I was repeatedly told that the house should be designed from the inside out. We have now decided to accept changes costing up to 4,000 EUR to avoid living with this discomfort for a lifetime. Unfortunately, the changes can only be made after the building acceptance. Many things can be done by my husband, who already has a lot of DIY experience. Every time I look at it, I feel like giving up, and I hope you can save the façade with some great ideas.
I’m uploading a few pictures.
Thank you very much in advance

@evelinoz The window that bothers me the most is the small one on the left. Do you have any ideas for it?No, unless you want to be watched from the street every time you shower, which in some situations could be somewhat avoided with frosted glass... well... 😉

Here are some examples of how you can visually harmonize it. Either like this or not at all.

But here are some examples of how you can visually harmonize it. Either like this, or not at all. Well, on second thought... what would be wrong with enlarging it or bricking it up? Just add a few bricks, done. Or simply cut the opening bigger.
Structurally, that’s not a problem; the lintel above the window is already there. So let’s not pretend this is a crazy amount of work.
But both options are not great, because a bathroom with a shower and no window is terrible, and a shower right in front of a floor-to-ceiling window is also not ideal...
