Advice needed on window door size and numbers

[anirs]

Hi,
We are building a house with 5000 sq feet.The master bed room projects out from the rest of the house for elevation aesthetics.It is 14x16, there is a master bath attached to it which is 10x10 and a walloon wardrobe with the same size and comes to form part of the front wall along with the 14 feet wall of the master bed.So together the projection is 14+10=24 feet approx.There are two columns/pillars on either side of the windows.Architect suggested putting 8 windows , but we wanted to limit the number of windows to 4 or 6 so that they are confined to the area between the 2 pillars.how many windows do you think will be fine? what us th size of a single window for such a house? The height of the window will be probably 7 feet.

If I were you I'd go for about two or three 5'x4' windows (or 5'x6' windoors). That's all. Unless you want the US style contemporary designs with wall to wall window which works only if you have a great view (eg: sea side)

I will compare wrt one of my previous home's living room 15'x22'. It had three 5x4 windows, all on one side, and there was more than enough light and ventilation. (sometimes too much light).

The only catch is , the window side should be fairly free of obstruction from tall buildings very close to it.

Thanks much, a tropical-colonial type of elevation and interiors is what is planned now.We have wall to wall windows as you described in the room next to it because it has pool view.But the architect is adamant that different types of windows dont look good in the same house.We suggested putting a glass instead of the end to end window in the pool view family living room,but he says it blocks ventilation.Is 5'x4' for one panel?Does that look good on a house similar to my elevation?There is about 560 cm of space in front of it,up to the boundary wall.
