How should the height of the rooms relate to the height of the windows and interior doors?

I would be interested to know if there is any experience/opinion on the planned height of the rooms, windows and interior doors.

First of all: the "problem" for us is that the top edges of the windows on the ground floor will be "significantly" (?) higher than the door frame. Do you have the same problem, or do you plan for the top edge of the interior door frame to be in line with the top edge of the window? Because of the ring beam on the top floor, we don't have this problem as the windows slide "down" and are not as high as on the ground floor.

• Ground floor.
• Structural height: 2875 mm
• Floor construction: 180 mm
• Shutter height: 312 mm
• Sink window height: 1125 mm

As a result, the height of the top edge of the window frame 2875-312-180 is 2383 mm in the finished room.

In this case, the top edge of the interior door frame will be at about 2160 mm in the finished room.

This is a difference of 223 mm.

Should we reduce the height of the window (e.g. lintel) on the first floor to get an approximate uniform alignment? We were told that the difference doesn't matter because the exterior wall windows and interior doors have to be considered separately from a design perspective.

If we raise the doors, we get special dimensions, and then we have different doors on the first and second floor with the same room height, which is also odd, isn't it?
