Second, the daylighting of floor-to-ceiling windows
The most important thing in the design of floor-to-ceiling windows is a lighting problem.
According to the three functions of the windows of sunlight, ventilation and long-distance view, the windows should be opened as large as possible. The standard size of the general window is: the ratio of the area of the window to the area of the floor of the room is 1:8 or 1:7. The size of the window is also related to the depth of the room: the depth of a room with windows on one side for daylighting should not be greater than 2 times the height of the window; for a room with windows on both sides for daylighting, the depth should not be greater than 4 times the height of the window. Generally speaking, rooms below 15 square meters have two windows, and rooms above 15 square meters have three windows.

the height of the French windows
1. The size and height of the window (mainly the lower edge) must be higher than the door! If the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room is less than one meter, safety factors must be considered.
2. The windows should be opened as high as possible. The high window opening can make the light uniform, which is conducive to producing soft uniform light; if the window opening is too low, the light will be concentrated in a certain part, which is not conducive to light diffusion
3. The top of the window must be higher than the height of the occupant, which can enhance the self-confidence and tolerance of the occupant, and there is no need to bend over and back when looking at the scenery outside the window.
the design of window opening method of floor-to-ceiling windows
Also pay attention to the design of opening windows in new Chinese homes. It is best to open windows completely or open outwards. On the one hand, it can be more practical without affecting the interior space. On the other hand, it also strengthens the occupants’ air because they open outwards. The windows can allow a lot of air to enter the room. If the windows are opened inward, it is very inconvenient for the use of indoor space, and it is also easy to hurt people.
There is a large floor-to-ceiling window in the room, which is the designated choice of many people when designing their homes. I wake up with the sun every day and fall asleep in the night. I think I get drunk. But there are one or two floor-to-ceiling windows that can’t be done yet. The trenches with private villas have even designed floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house, making the whole house transparent and bright, blending with the nature outside.
