Floor plan design single-family house with around 150 m²

That's a good tip, I'll measure it again!

I'm also considering making the south-facing window (1.76/1.385) a single fixed pane instead of a double casement window, meaning there would be no mullion anymore that reduces the glass area. But then you would never be able to open it. However, it would probably look good too?

Up to 2 meters wide, it is possible to have two sashes without a mullion... something with a stub? I've forgotten the technical term.

With fixed glass, you can't clean the roller shutters later.

That's an argument. Typical man, I would have forgotten.

Up to 2 meters wide, it's possible with two wings without a central post... something with stumps? I've forgotten the technical term.

Flush sashes don't help much here, we're talking about about 6 cm less pin in the eye compared to the width with a central post. Flush sashes are used for patio doors or emergency exit windows.

Edit to the previous post: Alternatively, the window could also be increased to 2 m wide (but then with double sashes), so that it does not look like 2 narrow "arrow slits"..

Up to 2 meters wide it works as a two-leaf without a mullion... something to do with stubs? I forgot the technical term.

Why not just single-leaf (fixed glazing) then? Since we have venetian blinds there anyway, cleaning wouldn’t be a problem. I just wonder if it doesn’t look too modern, as you mostly see such large fixed glazing on modern, cubic houses rather than on gable roof houses?

Fixed glazing in this width is of course also possible in one piece. Naturally, fixed glazing also fits with a gable roof. However, what you mean by "Schießscharten" is not clear to me: 14:11 is definitely a landscape format, and even with a mullion in the middle, it never looks like arrow slits.

Yes, maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but double-leaf only looks good from a certain width in my opinion, otherwise you just have a lot of frame and very little glass area. 1.76 is certainly possible, more is definitely better. Per leaf, that would be a ratio of 88 : 1.385 (just divided by 2).
