Neither do I lol I was assuming top was north. They are 8 foot walls if that helps probably 3 feet off the ground

If you don’t know which is ehich direction you have lots of issues needing to be addressed. I for one would need to see the exterior too

Before removing windows, I would consider how this will look from the exterior. If it is in the back and not easily visible removing the windows is an option. Another option is to put in transom fixed windows high on the "east" wall in each room so you get the sunlight but still can fit furniture. Again this needs to work with the look of the house and be as organic as possible.

Don’t forget you need egress sized windows in bedrooms for sure

It would depend on how it will look from the right wall outside, but there are also other options for window placement. Rooms with windows on two walls certainly light more evenly and pleasantly than those with a window in the center of a single wall, even if one never opens them for ventilation. You could also consider placing two smaller windows closer to the center wall. That way the beds could slide closer to the outside walls leaving room for a dresser on the long uninterrupted wall. Another option is a pair of higher square windows that the bed and headboard can fit underneath.

Where are the dormers? I don't see any dormers.

Also for reference North is at about 9 o clock

does this help?

Corrine, that certainly does help some. Though it would be great if you could post just the 2 sheets with the elevations so they are bigger and clearer. Based on what I'm seeing, either of my options would look better from the exterior than what is currently drawn, and would give you more flexibility for a better furniture layout. I think having the side windows so close to the corners while the first floor windows are more centered looks awkward.

Hi! I hope these help- sorry they are sideways. It was hard to fit all of the info on my phone screen

Also my husband and I agree with you about the window placement. Thank you !

Edit: Serious Question: Are we potentially setting ourselves up for failure by trying to align the upstairs and downstairs windows?

I’m worried that if the contractor is off by a few feet or even inches, it will look very sloppy and accidental. I have a lot of faith in my contractor, I just like to plan for the worst. Would I be saving myself a headache by making it look like the windows are more offset upstairs intentionally?

Sorry...but you've used a misleading term. Those are not dormers. It appears you simply have a second floor addition, which has exterior full length walls on the exterior sides.

And yes, the new addition would look best if windows on first and second levels aligned.

As currently drawn the addition looks like the drafter had his eyes closed. Make the change. If the builder knows his stuff he can easily make the windows align.

Right now those two windows giver the house a sleepy-eyed look. They would look much better aligned with the lower windows. Have you considered moving the double windows in each room further apart, so that you could fit the bed between the windows? Dressers could fit on the common wall.

I wonder if closets long the wall between the 2 bedrooms might be nicer. And then you would have the interior (left ) walls for the bed.

I worry it’s going to be hard to enter your bath and close the door after yourself. do you have an architect? Or could you get a 2nd opinion?

Are the 3049 windows double hung or single hung? What brand and material are you thinking of as from what I know that size will be too short to meet egress code.
