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

And I’m putting a mirror film on the two-part deep window facing the street 😉
… or a colored film… in red like the small window at the top left 🙂

What I would like to suggest is not to focus so much on creating the "perfect house," but rather to appreciate a "house with character."

This also means that the solution to some problems doesn’t lie solely in the physical aspects, but in the mind and heart.

This applies not only to the house you live in but also to how you approach life.

You can hope for an ideal life, but whether you find happiness by fixating on that is another question. Besides, you might miss out on wonderful developments simply because they don’t match the vision you once imagined.

@ateliersiegel I agree with you on that as well... putting it into practice takes some experience 🙂

Exercise
😀

Yes, that's true, but there are plenty of opportunities for that (you just need to build a house :rolleyes 🙂

We have been thinking about how to do the exterior paint. Which option do you like best? 🙂

I think the last version is the best one (the one with the blue background); the small window looks even smaller in the other versions to me.
However, I’ll introduce a fourth option. Unfortunately, I’m only on my phone and can only make rough edits, so the colors don’t match perfectly. Personally, I would probably do it this way, so the small window isn’t completely lost in the black area and because I like the asymmetry. Every window is different anyway, and in my opinion, this works even if the frame is always different. But in the end, that’s purely a matter of personal taste.
