Alternative to corner windows - experiences, photos, etc.

Hello everyone,

we are currently planning our new building with a planned start of construction at the beginning of August.
In the first meeting with the window installer, he advised against a classic plastic corner window. Instead, he recommends two separate windows and a brick pillar built at the corner. For your information, the windows in this area will be equipped with roller shutters.

We are planning the masonry with 42.5cm bricks.
Does the brick pillar then also have to be 42.5x42.5cm, or can it be smaller, possibly 30x30cm?
We would design the brick pillar in anthracite color so that the appearance of a corner window can be simulated.
Does anyone have experience with this variant?

Attached is a photo from Google Images of the desired result.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Andi

That will probably be a reinforced concrete column rather than brick. Ask the structural engineer what he needs there. And the energy consultant about insulation.

I only know the version with reinforced concrete.

Hopefully filled brick! And not an empty gesture!

Were also carried out like this by us.... from the inside it is then hardly visible.

However, as a concrete support, etc., since the entire kitchen / dining room living room area was too large = statics

What is his argument? We have standard plastic windows with corner-to-corner glazing at two places in the house. There are no problems. But it only makes sense with [Raffstores], because otherwise there is no frame for attaching the roller shutter rail. In the children's rooms, we also have corner glazing, but with a frame, since roller shutters are used there. In the basement, we have the variant with a concrete support in the corner. So I can compare the variants.

Glass on glass is by far the most beautiful, without support but still clearly more beautiful than with concrete support and two separate elements.
