Floor to ceiling windows - yay or nay?

They are building a lot around our office and most buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows. It seems this is the design of the future, but do you like it? Vote below and let us know your thoughts!


Yay!
Nay!

    With a view like ours it would have been madness not to install floor to ceiling windows!

      Great for the exhibitionists among us. Seriously, though, as rooms get smaller, it's important to make the most of the view.

      Love them for the light they can bring in, but not entirely sure the bathroom is the best choice of location for their use. Once switchable transparency becomes affordable they might see more widespread use. After all, while we might well all aspire to a property in prime central London with uninterrupted views of the countryside and none of those privacy-invading nuisances commonly known as "lovely neighbours" around ;-) few of us have that, or are likely to get it. Wonder how many people got them and regret it after noticing how much more outsiders can see of them now!

      Yes to Floor to ceiling windows, the world is vertical! For those who want privacy, opt for full height roller blinds.

      I used to live in rural France with spectacular open views. But one cannot spend all day staring at a view. I did enjoy having a large conservatory, where I could relax and enjoy my surroundings when I had the time. I'm actually a private person and would not want to make myself feel exposed and vulnerable, not even for the wow factor, which often means the ' envy' factor to my mind.

      Just moved into a new build with floor to ceiling windows in my bedroom, sitting room and kitchen. The house in on a hill so I marvel everyday at the views it affords me. Love them and can't wait to watch the seasons unfold

      Absolutely! We love the light, bright and airy feeling provided by glazing.

      I was so pleased to see that Kevin McCloud does not like these enormous windows. It shows what an extraordinarily tactful person he is.

      I'm afraid I agree with him. I don't think they are aesthetic because they are so disproportionate as to throw everything else out of perspective. And then there is the carbon footprint and general environmental considerations.

      If you have a wonderful view why not have a window cut down to waist or shoulder height? You can see it all then. Or do your feet have eyes?

      Alternatively, instead of sitting in a chair like a gumby, why not get out there into the view, and enjoy it that way (and stop being such a couch-potato at the same time)?

      Nice in a hotel or office but a bit difficult to live with in a home. We have a large window that takes up the whole of our lounge. I feel exposed and its hard to find some window dressing that doesn't fight with the modern style of the window.

      I love large windows but don't feel comfortable if window reaches the floor level. I will say Yes to large window and add that it should have low window sill as a little boundary from inside and outside.

      Big windows are great if you've got good views. But big windows mean small walls. Some of us need bookcases and pictures....

      They are a far cheaper alternative to doors and we have specified on many projects. An alternative is down to a height suitable for seating. This is useful where there is potential for splash back of dirt onto the glazing.

      Absolutely yes, even the tiniest garden to look at will extend the feeling of the interior and with clever lighting will creat a stunning back drop during the darker and colder winter months. Here are a few examples of work I designed and built for two clients in London, U.K

      Floor to ceiling windows are a great feature. They drive loads of light inside and make the space feel more open and airy. They don't work everywhere, but wherever possible, we highly recommend having them!

      Funny how so many of these comments feature modern glazing. I'd have a georgian or victorian floor to ceiling number over a modern one any day. Not to mention the ceilings were an awful lot higher back then!

      Depends on the view and privacy! If you have both, then they're fabulous. If not, you'd just end up having to put up huge blinds/curtains, so it would defeat the object.

      in the living areas, yes. bedrooms, bathroons? noooo! even in the living areas, id need curtains to provide some privacy, or one way glass, or a high fence, or no neighbours for miles and miles and for the world to forget that telescopes and binoculars were ever invented... in short, i want to watch, not to be watched.
