This is the answer to the question What kind of windows have you chosen for your homes?
Revision 1
We have an urban villa with similar dimensions (8x10.5m). We did a top/bottom 2x 2 sash for the south exit, with a fixed bottom window at the top that we chose.
The advantage of a split floor-to-ceiling top window: you don't need a grille in front of it, which might not look good either.
Disadvantage: you can only open a small part of the window when you tilt it, to clean the bottom element from the outside, you either have to lean forward or reach in from below
Because of the ventilation system, we hardly open the windows anyway. There is also another window in the children's room (you can see).
In an urban villa, it is very important that the arrangement of the windows look symmetrical on the outside, otherwise it will look quite strange. It is best to go to the new building areas and look at examples, successful and not so successful.
