Which shape for the venetian blinds?

but I would always prefer granite for the window sills (e.g. Steel Grey or Nero Ass.), possibly a rolling layer for a clinker facade.

I wanted to pick that out again because it was one of those points during construction that I would have done differently afterwards. The architect said aluminum is wonderful. The window manufacturer said aluminum is wonderful, with a great anti-drumming strip underneath.

Of course, you do hear the rain on the windowsill after all – which I actually wanted to avoid.

There are obviously more unpleasant noises when sleeping, but I actually wanted it differently. Well. On the other hand, it was cheap (really, the aluminum things cost hardly anything).

I once didn't buy a condominium because of black aluminum windows inside and outside. It looked fancy in the overexposed real estate photos but in reality it was okay. Personally, though, it was too black for me. But it looks modern and surely many people like it. I wouldn't be put off by that if you like it.

Unfortunately, we don't know anyone where we could take a look at it, and there are also very few pictures on the internet (at least maybe I'm just too stupid to find the right keywords).

We have decided on aluminum/wood windows and will probably paint them black on the inside (yes yes, I know, many don't understand such things!)

On Instagram, you can find many examples (search for Bauhaus Villas, for example). The annoying thing is that you often don't know whether the windows are plastic or aluminum/aluminum or aluminum/wood. I will try to upload some photos.

And some words also have to be written…..

But it looks modern and certainly appeals to many. I wouldn’t be put off by it if you like it.

No, we’re not going to be put off. We already have three rolls of tape here; the next time we’re bored, a window will turn black here :).

No, we won't be deterred. We already have three rolls of tape here, the next time we're bored a window here will turn black :).

I was asked by to take a few photos of our dark windows for you :) I still think they're great, but I have to admit that in hindsight we would have paid more attention to how wide the frames are. Narrower frames would make the dark windows look even better to me.
