We are currently working on the floor plans... and somehow we’re not quite getting the windows right :-(
We are really uncertain about the window heights and widths on the upper floor (kids’ rooms/bedrooms).
For example, the architect’s floor plan shows approximately 2.385 m (7 ft 10 in) by 1.27 m (4 ft 2 in).
Now we’re hesitating whether to go with that size or choose a smaller height, like 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in), 1.00 m (3 ft 3 in), or something similar.
We’ve seen windows with a height of 1.00 m (3 ft 3 in) at friends’ places, and they looked fine... hmm.
Why did you decide on your window sizes?
Of course, it always depends on the individual floor plan and personal preferences, but the experience of professionals and people already living in their homes could be really helpful.
Naturally, the design will also be open to some teasing and head-shaking here in the forum. 🙂
Thanks a lot, and now it’s time for the kids to cool off for a bit.

...this is not about putting 25 different window sizes on one facade... but if XY tells me that the planned 2.80 x 1.00 meter (9 ft 2 in x 3 ft 3 in) window is simply too small/dark for the kids’ room and in their experience that is a problem...
...then that is definitely useful information... regardless of whether it’s from Hirsch or... One-tenth of the floor area is probably standard. For a room of 12–20 square meters (130–215 square feet), I would aim for one-eighth if possible. Then it also depends on whether the kids’ room faces north or south.
A drawing can provide a quick answer...
