This ‘renovation’ really upsets me because I think that smaller windows are a good environmental, and, living comfort, choice . . . .but this a demonstration of how not to do it.

1. Think about the scale. . .  upstairs windows are expected to be smaller than downstairs windows, or at least no larger;
2. Have a consistent sill treatment;
3. A more attractive infill treatment would be to have a rendered or weatherboard fill below the windows, and could have  increased  insulation; value;
4. If you are going to do build in brick try and match the brick colour. . . . . especially if you are going to bond it into existing brickwork.
