This is the answer to the question What should be the size of the windows to make them look modern?
Revision 1
Some questions directed at "standard windows." The clear answer: there is no such thing. The design determines the windows, the window manufacturer makes them according to the size.
The height (sill), on the other hand, meets some standard. Usually a minimum height is prescribed for floors 2 and above, but it can be lowered (in this case you need to protect against falling), and the top edge of the window is often the height of the ceiling minus the roller shutter box. Roller shutter box.
In my opinion, whether a house looks "modern" also depends on the overall design. This is where the architect has to come in. Overall, a lot of glass and a lot of steel looks modern (but is the entrance to the Louvre still modern today? Is Berlin's main station modern?).
You have to know what is important to you. I would come from the inside: Lots of light where it makes sense; area and privacy where it makes sense. Then pay attention to the views. And if necessary, go back to the beginning. ... If you find "your" house in the catalog, build it. If not, you should contact an architect.
