Morning... so after some discussions with my partner, we have come to the conclusion that a compensation window in the bedroom would be nice, in this case either a floor-to-ceiling one or one with about 55 cm sill height... in the bathroom we simply rotate everything 180 degrees so that enough light is available. I just experimented with somewhat elongated windows with a sill height of 55 plus the existing 130 sill height upstairs; downstairs I expanded the window front on the south side. Maybe the 130 sill height can also be set to 120, I think. In that version, it would also make more sense to access the walk-in closet from the bedroom without a door, since you can still see the second elongated window there. Maybe someone else has suggestions about this.

Whatever that may be, as a former window manufacturer I certainly have never heard of it ...

So I understood it that a larger window shape additionally brings more light into the room... basically the compensating window to the window at 130 sill height.

The term compensation is used here to give a room at all a window with its purpose, namely to bring light into a room and not, because of the facade, a hardly usable window strip that is not sufficient.

Another variant would be... In the south as usual 130 running diagonally to the west... in the east 90 sill height, north also 90 as well as in the front on the west the two left ones also 90

another one would be... east left bedroom window floor-to-ceiling, the rest there 130... north and south 130 and west the two left again 90 and the right one running diagonally to the south 130.

Before continuing with the windows, I would like to clarify two points already mentioned:

1. the various projections and recesses between the ground floor and the upper floor mentioned by : I find them visually successful, but they do cause significant additional costs and are a potential weak point if poorly executed. Are you aware of this, do you want it that way, is it therefore fixed (especially since it has already been submitted with the building application)?

2. Post #57 by somehow got overlooked, but is very worth considering: you have four almost identical rooms upstairs - so why put the bathroom and bedroom in the south? It would make more sense to put the bathroom & bedroom in the north and the other two rooms in the south. The bathroom would then also have some natural privacy through the garage, which in turn would allow other windows. Would you consider this?

Regarding the windows: I think your changes have already loosened up the whole thing and visually improved it significantly! Nevertheless, I would be cautious with high (whether 120 or 130 is irrelevant) parapet walls. That is not nice from the inside, also unnecessary for privacy protection, you have no view, and you assign the rooms a possibly unchangeable use/furnishing. I find the 55 cm parapet height a good idea, though! Are there actually views around you that you want to see? If so, that must be taken into account.

One more thing: I find there are an incredibly large number of doors in this design (utility room with three doors, storage room two, the garage annex three, the bathroom two, under the stairs) - you won't need them in your life, and they are impractical... should be tidied up. However, I would make an exterior door to the garage annex (instead of the current window) - always opening the gate when you have to get to the annex is annoying :)
