What hadn’t you considered?
We have a relatively narrow house, so it was difficult anyway to achieve symmetry on the gable side between the upper and lower floors. Then we also wanted privacy, so we opted for the 113cm window instead of a wider one. Additionally, we didn't want all the arms of our corner sofa to be in front of a window – now one arm is in front of the 176cm window, the other one in front of a wall. Next to it is the 113cm window. Basically, we planned a lot around the furniture and privacy protection, and I also simply didn’t know how it would look in the finished state. In a 3D simulation or on the floor plan it always looks good, but in reality, looking back, I probably would have put more windows in those spots. But even then, I don’t know if I would have liked that in the long run.
Demands also change; sometimes you want everything open, sometimes you want to sit unseen – I don’t think you can have it all, and sometimes you like your decisions better, sometimes worse.
But actually, for me it was the case that back then I didn’t think that much about the living room windows; I just placed them because I simply didn’t know better.
