ᐅ Knee wall windows installed too low—what are your thoughts?

Good morning,

I am currently working on a window for the upper floor of our semi-detached house.
The floor construction is 15 cm (6 inches) thick, and the planned floor-to-ceiling window is 156 cm (61 inches) tall. It was already quite low, but it will be lowered even further by 5-10 cm (2-4 inches), as shown in the pictures. Although it is a children's room, this might not be ideal. According to the window manufacturer, removing the roller shutter doesn’t make much sense. For roof windows, the knee wall is too high, and an external roller shutter probably won’t fit either because the rafters will get in the way. Is it actually possible to install a window in this room with the remaining dimensions?

What other options are there?

No opinions or ideas, except for voting with two stars?

Forget the star ratings – they’re nonsense, he said, as if he got them from a chewing gum machine (Mel Brooks meant that).

Probably several readers won’t fully understand your question – but you have restricted the view of your profile, so no one can look through your thread history to find the house behind the question. Therefore, clarification is missing.

It’s probably because no one understands your question?

Is it the only window in the room?

What does the floor plan look like?

In our house, we also had such knee wall windows, about 1.00 m (3 feet 3 inches) high, deliberately planned, but with additional windows on the gable side. The windows had a certain charm, and the roof overhang directed the view downward into the garden.

Out of curiosity: why is it that fall protection is not required for windows like these?
