Ideal Ceiling Height

Hi all,


I'm in the planning stage of my home (overall plot area is 2000 sq.ft, and the home size may be around 1200 to 1500 sq.ft, we don't know yet) in a small town in India. This is a corner plot - east side is facing a road and main entrance will be in north, other two sides have homes. This will be a one-storey, with 2 beds/baths home.


To achieve more light and create airy feeling, I like to increase the floor to ceiling height as much as possible.


My questions below:


What will be the ideal floor to ceiling height for a small home like mine, without making it look out of proportion or creating any unnecessary side effects, such as echo? This height will be applicable to all areas, except the living room, which may a feet or two higher than the rest of the house.


For the living room, I am thinking of window (the window will be facing east) that spans from floor to ceiling. What will be the ideal size (length/Width) of the living room that will look nicer with double-storey window?


Any professional advice is appreciated.


Thank you.
