Good morning 🙂
I’m still quite unsure about my windows (floor-to-ceiling, 275cm (108 inches) high; fixed glazing) for the living room.
The first question is whether I should continue the right (west) exterior wall at the top right (south) around the corner, similar to the lower wall.
This would be about 45.5cm (18 inches) from the inside.
Would this look better, or is it preferable to have the window flush with the wall?
For me, the “corner” could be an advantage if I ever want to install curtains (but only light, white ones), as I would then have space to push them in front of the wall when open.
The second question concerns the segmentation of the windows.
According to the window manufacturer, the lower (north) window (275cm (108 inches) wide) can only be made in two segments.
The upper (south) window (533cm (210 inches) wide) would be divided into two segments.
(On the left (east) side, there is a 200cm (79 inches) wide balcony door with two 100cm (39 inch) wide panels.)
What do you think would look nicer here—two or three segments for the upper window?
North view:
South view: (currently shown with four segments)

Well... sometimes something slips your mind on a Sunday evening, so as the original poster, you just have to give a gentle nudge 😉.
Hmm... what is supposed to happen on the plot area at the bottom right of the plan? Parking space?
Personally, I wouldn’t arrange the living area like that. The sofa placement kind of creates a hallway on the left side of the living room in the plan... for me, a sofa would always be along the right wall in the plan.
Is a fireplace or something planned in the partition wall to the dining area?

still no answer..._One_ answer is _no_ answer?! 😉Regarding your short wall segment: does it really matter where it is? I can’t imagine that layout either: sitting with your back to the door isn’t comfortable, and having a walkway behind the sofa doesn’t work well either. That’s why I’m not questioning the short wall segment itself; my criticism was aimed at the overall appearance of the window.
If this detail is really bothering you, I would definitely suggest going through some interior planning to see what this wall segment could be useful for—or not.
The layout is basically already finalized as planned.
I don’t see any issues with access to the living room from behind, and I wouldn’t call this a “hallway.”
It’s not a public space where a stranger could suddenly stand behind you.
In general, I’m not a fan of squeezing the sofa against a wall, which can also complicate surround sound systems, and the distance to the TV would be much too large for my taste.
My question was only about that section of wall—whether it would look better for symmetry reasons, or if the appearance of a full window front would be more attractive.
