ᐅ Window sill height 130 cm in the bedroom / home office?

How are you supposed to decide without a floor plan?

And I agree with @Smialbuddler ... a parapet height of 130 cm (51 inches) often gives the interior a somewhat "basement feel," because you end up seeing a lot of wall.

Why exactly is the parapet height of 130cm (51 inches) so important? It seems to be fixed. I also find it a bit too high.

Well, we are a bit lost right now... 130 because we wanted that height in the bathroom or at least something higher. The floor plans are still not quite right regarding the windows, we have already tried many options. But the rooms should stay as they are.

I would consider the intended use of the room in each case. We also have taller windows in the bathroom, and in hindsight, I would do that differently. What other reason is there for this, besides the exterior appearance? We wouldn’t like the house any less if there were lower windows in that spot.

I once asked my friend the same questions, and he gave a dry reply: “Do you often sit in the garden and look at the position of the windows?” Question answered!

Apparently, architects tend to focus more on the exterior appearance (after all, it is their publicly visible design), while interior designers pay more attention to the interior and functionality. Ah… that probably explains the job titles 😀.

Unless there is a very specific practical purpose for such a window in the room, I wouldn’t set the windowsill so high.

@audiophilone am I correct in seeing that you uploaded the upper floor twice? Or are you really so confused that you are building two identical floors without a kitchen, living room, etc.? 😱 Maybe a new life plan ?? 😀

Sorry, I’m completely confused...
