Hello,

I have attached a sketch I drew myself, and I am unsure about how to arrange the window areas in the part circled in green. Behind that will be the bedroom. I also attached another image for inspiration. It can’t be implemented exactly as shown since our house has different dimensions (it is larger), and otherwise it would be too much. Also, the question is whether all windows that deviate from the standard shape (meaning not square, but practical) are significantly more expensive or still generally affordable.

Regarding the measurements: the relevant area is 5.5 meters (18 feet) wide and 5 meters (16 feet) high at the ridge. I would appreciate drawings or ideas on how a window or glass facade could look in that space.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have tried to describe it as clearly as possible—if anything is unclear, please feel free to ask for clarification.

Does the sketch reflect your house? Or is it only approximately like that?
The width and height really matter, as they determine the effect created by the windows.
For example, in the house shown in the photo: if you want to reduce the window areas, in my opinion at least the floor-to-ceiling window next to the chimney, including the pointed window above, should remain. To enhance the effect further, a narrow window (with a sill) could be added in the existing wall.
If the house is wider and the roof less steep, the suggestion would probably look different.
And downstairs, are there only these two “simple” windows without any additional framing?

Apart from the honest answer here being "around 42," I am repeatedly surprised by how many incorrect starting points there are when planning a house. Researching individual parameters without context and hoping to accidentally find the key question is certainly not an effective approach. In my view, this will just cause you to waste time and pay for learning mistakes. Many homeowners get in their own way with the illusion that their home must somehow be completely unique. The finishing touch only comes at the very end.

Bedroom window... hmm... What about blackout options for the night? Who can see inside from where? How is window cleaning planned? These are additional questions related to the comments from previous contributors.

From a professional and objective perspective, there are certain guidelines for design, architecture, and human well-being.

You are welcome to research and read up on the "Golden Ratio." This might help you with further planning.

The Golden Ratio is a design principle that describes the proportional division of a length or another dimension. The ratio is approximately 1:1.618 and is considered especially harmonious by many people. Therefore, this proportional rule is often applied in art, architecture, and design.

That’s probably why the question about “standard windows” came up.

Forget trying to replicate a sophisticated design element if the basic conditions aren’t right. On a larger figure, “midriff-baring” will always look bad, even if it’s “their color.”
