Can you see that side of the house from the street? If so, then outside alignment and balance is important. If it is in the back, it is less important, but still nice to consider. Also how will the size and style and open glass areas relate to other windows in the house? A neighbor redid their s house nearby, and they put in a huge window right in the front for the master bedroom, and moved the front door among other things. While it made sense for the floorplan, it made the exterior look like an afterthought.
It was a jumble of window sizes and styles. To make things worse, they cut corners and omitted the window casing, which almost always looks bad. Taking pictures and drawing it in at scale a door is usually 80' 6' 8" tall for comparison on the computer will help you visualize the result, inside and outside. Centered would be nice inside, especially for a feature type window. But is isn't essential. Might be easier to work with if it wasn't centered if it was the same height of the other window.
Help with mirrors for bathroom vanities facing each other Q. I think your design looks great and I would not change it. There is probably no perfect design and unless you always were getting ready at the same time it may not be a big issue.

Your original post mentions the need to control glare which can be a tricky fix. Glare is the visible light we see coming into the home so reducing glare reduces the amount of light coming into the space. You cannot reduce glare without reducing visible light, they are one in the same.
Something a bit darker like this Harmony 51 from Vista will cut out a bit more glare but still give you more view and performance than any blind or shade. Find a local professional at www. Good Luck! Thanks so much for answering, Jan. I don't know why this is so hard for me to wrap my head around, but I'm trying. I did find a line of antique bronze lighting not as dark as ORB with white shades. It's more modern looking and I think we'll go with that?
A good feng shui floor plan creates a space for keeping and nourishing the incoming good energy in a meandering pattern, rather than letting it rush through by a direct route from a door aligned with another door or with a large window.
It feng shui, it is especially important to avoid a direct alignment of the front door with the back door. When this occurs, all the good feng shui energy coming through the main door easily flows through and escapes through the back door without circulating and nourishing your home. Take this into consideration when you plan to renovate or remodel your home.
The term arguing doors to refer to three or more doors in close proximity, especially if they touch each other when opened. In feng shui, these are known as arguing doors because the energy of their placement inevitably creates arguments and negative energy. By their nature, doors and windows need space around them, simply because there is so much energetic movement occurring there—both visible and non-visible. When you cramp several doors too close together, you create a quality of energy that tends to be chaotic and angry, hence the expression "arguing doors".
Living in a house with such a configuration will inevitably lead to relationship complications. In the bedroom, it is considered unfavourable to have too many windows.
Low windows or floor-to-ceiling windows are also discouraged. These conditions lead to weak energy in the room. Beds should never be placed under a window unless there is absolutely no other place to put the bed. In that case, a heavy drape should be hung and closed behind the bed at night.

We are in the midst of starting a major remodel and have a window size issue. Attached is a picture of one of our bedrooms. We used a fisheye lens so it's not proportional. All 3 windows will be double hung - the 2 in the front right and the left which is on a side of the house.

We'd also try to align the door casings and cased openings so that all of the window and door trim aligned across the tops. The dormer windows could be treated differently from the rest of the space as the ceiling height change will allow that to feel as if it "needed to be that way" because of the dormer. We find a lot of the time that the dormer windows are really predicated on the exterior trim details.

That makes sense, since I also see you have two different ceiling heights, correct? Given that the ceiling is higher in the main part of the room, it makes sense visually that the top of the window does the same thing, it just looks right to me.

Should I align the top of the windows or the bottoms of the windows? Yes, the ceiling height for the "main part" is 8' 4", while the ceiling height in the dormer is 7'.

I think its part of the design not to have that square box feeling of one large room Also the reason could be, since there is structural beam in the ceiling between Family room and Kitchen which supporting both ceilings, by bringing that wall in, it creates a shorter span and flush mounted beam could be used instead of larger beam which protrude down from the ceiling.
I would make that other side in the back extend even more I think there is a short wall already or someone drew that make it the same distance as the other side on the stair side, this way you can get extra wall space in the kitchen. If you don't like it, then ask him to take that out unless like I said, there is reason for it, if not Architectural then structural. Good luck. Normally your cabinet under the window would be centered on the window and then the sink centered on the cabinet and also the window.
I think now probably best to center sink on cabinet. Out of all my 7 kitchens I have had my favorite set up was where the cook top was back to back with the main sink. It was functional for ME as I work a lot between the sink and stove. It is rare that I have multiple cooks in the kitchen so I'm more concerned how it works for me. I also had a prep sink next to the cook top but hardly ever used it as it was tiny and I couldn't throw any pans into it.
And I rather do my prepping at the main sink. Your prep sink looks like it will be away from the main sink and cook top so anyone helping in your kitchen could be assigned to work there. Just make sure the prep sink size makes sense for how you want to use it. I'd still align the bottoms I like the look of it, especially given the ceiling transition, it will just seem more intentional if the tops of the windows flow along with the ceiling transition.
Thank you both. I think it will be better to align the tops and let the sills fall where they may. Aligning the tops of the windows means you have to use the 7' ceiling height area as the 'start line", and would make the window in the 8'4" area seem oddly low as a result.
Like Save. Joseph I. Mycyk Architects, Inc. I have to disagree with WowGreat Place on the techinicality of the dormer window. The two windows on the right are in a dormer.
That is clear by the exposed underside of sloped roof framing to the right, and the lower ceiling at the windows. It's amazing the windows don't seem to have any headers. Were the window openings something recently done? Doing headers is the right thing to do since you're putting in new windows.
I don't feel the dormer windows need to line up with the other window. They are viewed on different elevations of the house from the exterior.
