What should be the size of the windows to make them look modern?
Revision 1
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?
