Floor-to-ceiling windows - Why floor-to-ceiling windows? Advantages and disadvantages?

So I don't know what you all have against the desk... All the desks I know are open underneath? Accordingly, much more light comes into the room with a floor-to-ceiling window, even if there is a desk in front of it. Also, the room appears much larger when the light comes through.

Of course, that doesn't make sense everywhere, but since the windows sometimes have better insulation values than masonry, it is not only no longer nonsensical but also offers added value without major disadvantages.

I neither want to argue for nor against it, but I don't see it as negative as it is described here.

We are lucky to have snagged a plot in an established residential area, where there is easily 40m to the next house, and there is exactly one single window that faces our garden.
There will be a large, continuous window area on the ground floor and a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the upper floor, where I can lounge in the winter to read and have the large garden in view.

Hmm I completely disagree. So are all the glass palaces like the DB Tower at Potsdamer Platz, etc. also absolute planning failures because I can see under the desks inside the offices from the outside?

Then there is simply a desk in front of it in the children's room. So what? It is not set in concrete there.

It is quite possible that as the child grows, the room will be refurnished several times, and thus a floor-to-ceiling window will be free again.

My mother's neighbors have a floor-to-ceiling window - right next to the toilet... so there I just have to shake my head

We have one in the bedroom, I just like it for ventilation, and it's the only one, a normal one would have been too small for me.
In the children's bedroom (or later office) also a large one, but the lower part is fixed, the window is on top.
And the one in the children's room is an escape route and opens onto the garage.
At the very top under the gable there is another one with the bottom fixed, only light source so necessary.
The 2 double elements in the living/dining room are also not going to be blocked according to current planning.

I don't like desks with all the PC cables in front of the windows. If there is a dresser in front or the lower part is covered or pleated blinds hang there 24 hours a day, it just doesn't fit. Especially because children's rooms are rearranged more often, windows that are not floor-to-ceiling offer more flexibility.

Floor-to-ceiling windows make sense for a reading corner. There is not just one solution.

High-rise buildings usually have mirrored facades, and there is no other way to bring natural light into the house. Single-family houses generally have more exterior wall space relative to floor area.

We have tall narrow windows without shutters at the staircase (north side) and despite the Master Karree, walking around naked is a bit difficult, thanks to motion detectors especially in the mornings and evenings...
In the living-dining room facing the garden (south) we have a large glass front and several meters of space to the neighbors, with some big plants in front no problem. I think that's great.
The other rooms have normal windows with windowsills and that is very practical for flowers, toys, small items.

Is there a dresser in front of it or is the lower part sealed shut or are pleated blinds hanging there 24 hours a day? Then it simply doesn’t fit.

As I said, I have a completely different opinion. I actually think it fits very well. You can open the pleated blinds, move the dresser, and the films serve as sun protection or for other purposes.

There are organization systems for PC cables. That way, everything can be hidden, and light can enter the room across the entire height of the wall, even if there is a desk there.
