ᐅ Seating window under a sloped roof

Hello everyone,

We are planning a window seat in the gallery. To the right of the window is a glass balustrade separating the open space, and on the left side are the floor-to-ceiling windows. The window seat is supposed to be placed under the sloping roof. Does it even make sense to install a window seat with a frame here? I’m concerned it might look too cramped.

As an alternative, we could consider just having the bench or even nothing (the window would remain as is).

The window seat has fixed glazing and is 2m (6 ft 7 in) wide.

I’m looking forward to your valuable opinions.

Cleaning from the outside is quite challenging.

We don’t really know why a gallery, a large window in the gable, and floor-to-ceiling windows (toward the balcony?) were planned at all. The spatial effect, the intention behind each design element, and whether everything that could be implemented is really necessary are aspects that should be critically considered in the overall house planning process.
I’ll ask the basic question: what is the purpose of the bay window? And if it’s about a nice panoramic view, why isn’t the balcony planned for that instead? Just some questions...

... and why not just have one window with a relatively low sill height and instead place a really comfortable armchair there. Usually, that is much more comfortable than a window seat, and with the right sill height, you should be able to enjoy the view just as well.
