What should be the size of the windows to make them look modern?

As we walk through the new complexes, we increasingly notice that the windows are getting wider and smaller in height.

We have also noticed a trend toward glazing in the corners.

Overall, we like this shape and would like to incorporate it into our new construction if possible.

However, I have no idea what the dimensions of these windows are. Our current apartment has mostly double-paned windows that are ~160 cm wide, the sill is about 1 m high, and the windows are ~1.3 m high. This, of course, makes the individual windows look taller than they actually are.

At what height do you install windows in such a new building? What are the "normal" dimensions if you want it to look modern?

In general, should they look wider rather than taller, or square?
