Hello dear community,
we would like corner windows, but without causing heat loss or additional costs. The corner should also be slightly set back to achieve a visually appealing overall appearance. The house will be built with 48cm Ytong stones. My idea is to create the corner with a 42cm stone and install 2 normal energy-saving windows around the corner. Either you keep the length of the 42cm stone at 500 and stagger it, or you cut it square to 420. Then you would have 2 corners less afterwards. The architect says we should use a steel support for the corner, but then the windows come even closer together, and you get problems opening them, right? In addition, you also have less light incidence when the windows are closer together, in my opinion. Are there any other disadvantages or problems that one should know about? What about the window lintel? Is there anything to consider there?
I would be very grateful for your help once again :oops:)
Best regards Judyyy
