Floor-to-ceiling corner windows

I am personally not a fan of corner windows. We had one (quite small) in our rental apartment and the room was somehow always dark (especially since it also had a sloping roof). For manual ventilation (which we had to do there, especially at night in summer) the window was useless. Floor-to-ceiling: We have that too - the children (2 & 4) like to sit in front of it and look outside. Although in the bathroom, in hindsight, I would have chosen a normal window or just a roof window and a high light strip. They foiled the lower side.

how do you want to clean a fixed-glass corner window from the outside? You do get older after all and still somehow have to clean the windows. The children's room is quite large but much too narrow, which is probably due to the large, central staircase you planned. If you have to put something on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom for privacy anyway, it won't look so great from the outside either.

I don't like the corner windows at all. Inside, there is - for me - an unpleasant feeling of space because there is usually a large wall in the room. I may be a bit old-fashioned about that. For ventilation - if necessary without [Kontrollierte-Wohnraumlüftung] - these windows are also impractical. And there are problems with furnishing as well.

And then shutters, privacy screens over all the windows? Did I understand that correctly? Why have floor-to-ceiling windows if you then have to cover them up again? Especially in the bathroom - and then even around the corner?

The exterior appearance may be nice, but I wouldn't put up with it. My sister-in-law has something similar and is not happy with it at all.

.. what do you think now after the statements here?

About the upper floor layout:

8 sqm dressing room, in which with good will barely 4 m of wardrobe fits, but then there is a wardrobe again in the bedroom. Something still doesn’t fit.

The bathroom, as others have already written, will be too tight in the passages with the toilet and the corner bathtub. Also, I would let the bathroom door open inward here.

I also like the generous staircase, but what does the ground floor look like?

So that there is at least one positive voice..

We have corner windows on the ground floor and above for reasons of symmetry on the upper floor (playroom/office below, children's room above) and we think it's absolutely great. In our opinion, it enhances the exterior facade and breaks with the classic look of an exterior wall. Direct sunlight is of course not directly increased (see post with the hypotenuse), but the brightness naturally increases significantly. However, we had a continuous fixed panel installed on the inside corner, which somewhat reduces the problem of opening. I don't quite understand the problem with cleaning, why is something different here than with usual windows with transoms on the upper floor?!

The corner windows have a steel post, right? How serious is the issue of thermal bridging? I have also read about water in the insulation, meaning condensation forming on the steel and draining into the wall. Is there any truth to that?
