Hello,
we are planning a structural height of 2.875m (9 ft 5 in) on the ground floor and 2.75m (9 ft) on the upper floor. This means the windows on the ground floor would be 1.385m (4 ft 6.7 in) high and 1.26m (4 ft 1.7 in) on the upper floor. Would that look odd, or is it not visually problematic?
Best regards
Sabine

All these measurements are not relevant for the viewer outside, as no ceiling or screed is visible from the outside. And if they are, the focus is on the alignment of the lines—height does not matter. There are also some cases where varying heights are used as a design feature.

windows of different heights on the ground floor and upper floor don’t really matter visually. what’s more important is how they align with each other. some people really do reckless things that just don’t work.I’m probably pretty indifferent too, because what’s the point of a perfect exterior if I don’t have the light where I need it inside or if it makes it impossible to arrange my walls properly in the room. After all, I live in the house, not mainly in front of it...

The exterior design is definitely important, because who wants to own an ugly house?
Everyone wants to feel welcome home.
