What do the plans show for window elevations?

We have 8ft doors so I should have known the windows would be a foot below the ceiling and then did the math but I assumed I’d be able to see out a window that is over the sink.

Should I lower it or will it look bad?

Back view.

How much leeway do you have to lower it before it hits the counter?

I would just lower it were it me as long as it does not interfere with the counter-top.

Now seeing the pictures, I think lowering it would be fine. It won't be noticed.

Lower it so the sill is right at countertop height.

I like a window a bit above the counter above a sink for sure and 51” unless you are really short should allow you to see out. This is what happens when people get anal about certain things in this case all the tops of the windows lining up. If it makes you carzy then pay to fix it now because it will always make you crazy

I’m just not sure if there’s a rule that windows should all be the same distance from the ceiling in an open concept space. I don’t want it to make my cabinets look short. I’m not doing uppers in that wall and the cabs on the other walls will go to ceiling.

Counter is 37 inches and I am 5 foot 2 inches

Be careful lowering it to countertop height because you may need electric outlets there. Check how far apart code requires them to be.

I'd change the window, and switch to one with a wider center part like the window to the left in your interior image above.

Lower it and mount a shade/curtain higher. But don’t lower it all the way to the counter. That would be asking for trouble regarding matching counter height and designing sill & backsplash, not to mention the outlets that someone mentioned.

check to see if they can add a transom to your existing window. Remove the window, add the transom and reframe the bottom to the new height.

What PPF said.

What is so "comfortable" about looking out the window as it is? How high off the finished floor will the bottom of the glass be?

I'd get new windows and sell the old on Craigslist. Why can I see daylight around your window frames? Why don't I see anything but Tyvek on the walls- no flashing, no water protection? I don't see how they can finish properly.

I decided to purchase a new window that is 9 inches taller that way the top will line up with the other windows and I can still see out of it. Thanks for your help. Sucks I had to buy another window. Hopefully I can sell it. This was the height and as you can see, way too high for me.

if it's not too late, call the window supplier and ask if they can field mull a 9" transom on top.!
