Room too high for tilt-and-turn windows?

And the door with a flat threshold.

Hey Olli, can you explain the flat threshold a bit more?

Hi

Normally, the frame is uniformly the same all around. A terrace door with a flat threshold is then at the bottom similar to a front door.
This way, in combination with a wooden terrace, the living room floor and the terrace are at the same level.

that pure casement windows are (almost) no longer installed.

... is nonsense. In the majority of two-part windows and patio doors, only one sash is tilt-and-turn, and the other sash is only turn. I would probably fix one side here and split the other vertically into two parts: the "door" turn, and the transom tilt.

Thank you Olli for the clarification.

: You are basically describing Olli's version, but with a tiltable top light. The idea behind the pure pivot sash was rather whether it is easier to realize a continuous element all the way to the top with such a sash (due to the great height) than with a tilt-and-turn sash.

correct.

The idea behind the pure pivot window was more about whether one could more easily achieve a continuous element up to the top (due to the great height) than with a tilt-and-turn window.

Of course: having a pivot axis at the top and bottom is fundamentally always a more stable matter than a ball joint at the bottom and only a friction stay at the top. Anyone who understands lever forces will basically recognize a surfer in the tilt-and-turn door user.
