• For our extension we asked the architect to make the window in the living area (as opposed to dining area) a bit larger (see below).

    We didn't want to go full window seat style, and we also didn't want bifold doors the whole way across. The architect was a bit concerned that windows in those sorts of living areas can make furniture choice and arrangement a bit more difficult.

    What does the forum hive mind think about the ideas below?

  • Nice, any chance in getting a high horizontal window in the wall next to the gate? This kind of thing:

  • Sorry, but I’m not struck by the small window on the back. Having that thick bit of wall would bug me. And to mind mind looks like you’ve changed your mind about having the utility at the back and removed an internal wall. I’d centre the doors and call it done.

  • I’m always a lil concerned about big empty spaces labelled dining / living. You can’t figure out if it will be good without drawing all the furniture - and ideally using correct dims for the pieces you have or will buy for it.

  • Discussing windows is a bit useless without orientation.
    And I agree, left window looks like its a left over from a different configuration inside.

  • I’d have a bigger window but would also say (and just my opinion) a big rectangle space at the end of an extension can feel awkward. Could you stagger it to help with zoning. I’d be tempted to push the window side in or out a bit.
