Good morning!

Last week we bought our plot and now things are getting serious. :)) The floor plan is almost finished. We are only struggling with 2-3 things.

One of them is the windows. We are building a semi-detached house. The neighboring house is already there and has a long, tall window on the entrance side facing the street (the kind where you can’t see in very well).

1. Now we are considering whether to do the same or to take a corner window to better use the morning sun. Is it even possible/allowed to have different windows on a semi-detached house?

2. The second consideration is to take a floor-to-ceiling window around the corner of the house. That would be in the kitchen between the kitchen unit facing the street and the kitchen island. That would bring in light and be a small “eye-catcher.” Our concern, however, is that passers-by might be able to look inside. Would you advise against it or do you have alternatives? Friends reported yesterday about a window glass that you cannot see through from the outside, but you can look out from the kitchen. Presumably those are prices that would make me cough?

I don’t know, I would at least want to ensure a uniform appearance on the street-facing side. We have a detached house here, the left side has a smooth plaster and the right side has a thick roughcast plaster (like interior textured plaster but really thick, maybe with insulation function who knows), it looks so damn bad and somehow outwardly demonstrates a bad neighborhood relationship, as if they obviously couldn’t agree.

Hm, you’re kind of right there. Too bad. Then we’ll adapt to the neighbor and still consider whether to put a normal small or floor-length window on the side.

Very often the second halves are only built years after the first. So it's unavoidable that if the first builder put up a castle of horrors, it will look different ;)
