In the meantime, we have gotten used to the solution "everything in a row".
Then everything is fine.
The reason for the floor-to-ceiling window is not its function (or meaningfulness) for the children's bathroom, but the symmetry of the gable towards the street side. Next to it, in the area of the stairs, a similar window is also planned, with exactly the same dimensions.
It's clear regarding the attic alone. However, the symmetry/harmony overall suffers in quite different places: the door under this bathroom window has a different width, and the yet another width of the toilet window on the ground floor is the third discordant note. A balustrade height of "0" would not make sense for the stairs here – which would be "floor-to-ceiling" only when viewed from the top of the steps – but rather a continuity from the ground floor; there a balustrade height of 125 would be a good measure fitting the stairs, also matching the other windows on the ground floor on this side. I would make this stair window the same width as the toilet window on the ground floor. Then, for the children's bathroom, I would give a window with the width of the front door below, with a balustrade height coordinated with the adjacent eaves height. Otherwise, the observer would whistle "offside" there :-)
An identical format for both dormer gable windows would not be suitable to carry a "symmetry" on its own in the cacophony of the surrounding formats.
Imagining façades by story leads from house views exactly to these wanted posters from "Development Plan XY Unsolved", with which the new development areas are already "sufficiently" filled.
