This is the answer to the question Are floor-to-ceiling windows suitable for a child's room?
Revision 1
At age 4, they will come out at you unnoticed, regardless of the room. Our 2 year old ran away from his grandmother naked, unnoticed. He went through the bathroom, down the hallway, through the kitchen (where Grandma was standing), up the little stairs, across the hall and into the garden. So the motto: lock up anyway.
I would choose according to your walking habits. In our house (bungalow) the children's rooms would be closer to the door than ours. This applies to the garden.
Reason 1: Garden visitors do not need to be very quiet in the evenings so as not to wake the children.
Reason 2: When I pack laundry in the bedroom, I get a view of the children in the garden.
Reason 3: I can get to the kids faster from the living room than from the bedroom (yes, I know, 2m is not much).
Reason 4: The couch overlooks the kids' rooms.
I would place a one year old in the room next to the bathroom. Short distances when urinating are worth their weight in gold. Then #2 is in the smaller room for now. You can always move if you realize you are better off the other way around.
