Parapet heights different in the same room?

Then I can only hope the [Raffstores] do what they are made for....otherwise we really have to simply set the windows facing south lower and just accept that the top edge of the south windows is not on the same line as the top edge of the west windows.

Here is a quick test, is it really that bad if the top edges are not on the same line? I mean the floor-to-ceiling ones at the top and the south side? Here I have now made all the windows on the upper floor south side at a height of 110cm and a sill height of 83cm.

Better like this:




Or like this:

Thank you for the visualization. I find the height offset aesthetically acceptable. From the outside even more than from the inside, since there is more wall up to the corner and from there again to the next window.

Because one element is landscape format and the other portrait format, they look unequal anyway. Then rotated 90° to each other. So edge alignments do not stand out that much visually.

By the way, the fact that top edge alignment would be extremely important on the upper floor would be needed to explain why different bottom edge heights are obviously not a problem?

Personally, what bothers me the most is the light strip in the basement between the two floor-to-ceiling windows: on the same wall and no edge alignment anywhere. Compared to that, the upper part is really no big deal...

I think it makes the room feel quite cramped. From the outside, I also find it less dramatic since it is located on different sides of the building. Overall, I would choose a less elongated format and instead prefer a vertical one. This improves the placement options in the room, and the upper edge could be easily aligned without creating huge panes.

Mich ganz persönlich stört am ehesten noch das Lichtband im UG zwischen den beiden bodentiefen Fenstern: Auf der selben Wand und keine Kantenflucht, nirgendwo. Dagegen ist oben doch pillepalle...

I would say, not only not bad, but even more beautiful. At least as long as the "parapet height" of the floor-to-ceiling window – that is, where the fixed lower part ends – is not above the parapet height of the "flat" window. I would find the same top edge visually more unsettling, from inside as well as outside. But we do have someone here in the forum who offers house models from the 3D printer. That might allow a "safer" test of which taste is "more correct." With removable roof also from the inside
