Window shape and size in a bungalow - symmetry is important to us!

Ypg......, do you have a suggestion on how the window shapes and sizes in the front could look better?

Or did you just want to say that you don’t like my house, the look, the floor plan, and basically everything [emoji4]?

I can imagine you have a tip about the windows for me.

Best regards

You only read what you want
I think the Danish house style is really cool... and your brickwork is great too - but the typical Danish style is only implemented in your case through the large bungalow version. That alone is simply not Danish...

How I would change things, including the window story, I have certainly long since written in your many threads. I have also written several times about the gable windows... I won’t go into detail anymore, since I don’t see that you implement anything that is advised to you here, or by architects at your home.

Otherwise:

For me, this window discussion is currently not appropriate at all

I really like the Danish house style... and your clinker bricks especially - but the typical Danish style in your case is only established through the large bungalow variant. That alone is simply not Danish...

How I would do things differently, including the window issue, I have certainly already written in your numerous threads. I have also written several times about the gable windows... I will not go into detail anymore, as I do not see that you implement anything that is advised to you here or by architects at your place.

Otherwise:

Yes, Danish style is chic, but we have some deviations, so you can't really call it Danish anymore apart from the shape and the open ceilings.
(the Danes have the roof overhang directly on the windows or something like that...)

Ypg, I read everything you write and have considered your suggestions, thank you for that.
Nevertheless, I have decided against triangular windows or other windows in the gable.
I have done what I knew and that is probably unclear to you [emoji4].
But that's just how personal taste is. I also like the floor plan. I tolerate a 1.2 m hallway that is 6 meters long because it allows me a floor plan that I desire.

In short.

I accept all information, think about it, and decide consciously.

Kind regards

Just wanted to draw a kind of triangular window. In this case - time saved...

If the chimney wasn’t on the right, I would definitely say that the 4 doors should be pushed together into one large window. And on top of that, a window including a motor for open/close control (that way you can ventilate perfectly in summer)..

Narrow, tall, and divided always looks a bit more old-fashioned than modern. But it fits many houses because it then looks cozier. I would always build a modern house with 2 meters width instead of 176 cm... it looks better, but that is also a matter of taste. 2 meters width doesn't even cost more in house construction. From there, the mason's calculation amount often reduces [emoji6]

Lighting of the open gable is essential so it doesn’t look unfinished. It also has the advantage that during the day you can walk around with the shutters down, but daylight still comes in at the top. We had these triangular windows in the old house above every window in the gable. Here one window per gable, so one half, is enough.

It’s not a triangle now... but it didn’t cost a single cent extra [emoji4] We can see the moon in the evening as well as stars, and the blue hour looks great.




I would equip the front with portholes!

O.k then rather wider windows instead of narrow ones? At the front

Still 155 cm high? They are really huge then.

My wife doesn't want a sliding tilt door towards the terrace, and the architect said it would also be difficult to keep a terrace door wider than 1 meter (per leaf) open over time.

Doesn't have to be wider.
With us, everything is 2 meters with [Stulp], so without a central division. And then double-leaf. I didn't want sliding either.
