To put that into perspective, the Metric Handbook provides data to calculate that the 99.99th percentile of UK male height is almost exactly 2000mm &#8211; in other words only 0.01% of the UK male population is taller than 2000mm, which sounds like a small number but it&#8217;s actually more than 300,000 people (based on a UK population of about 64.5 million, 49.2% of whom are male).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not expecting that fact to dominate the design but it does have an impact:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Door heights should be greater than the UK standard (1981mm) and also wider to retain roughly the normal aspect ratio.\n<ul>\n<li>The Building Regulations in The Netherlands require a &#8220;free passage&#8221; height of 2300mm (as per this page in the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bouwbesluitonline.nl\/Inhoud\/docs\/wet\/bb2012\/hfd4#art4.22\" target=\"_blank\">Dutch<\/a> or Google Translated into <a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.co.uk\/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=nl&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bouwbesluitonline.nl%2FInhoud%2Fdocs%2Fwet%2Fbb2012%2Fhfd4%23art4.22\" target=\"_blank\">English<\/a>).
