Hello dear friends,
We have (once again) a question that we would like to hear different opinions on. We are currently planning a roof extension for the terrace of our bungalow, which could potentially cover the entire terrace (a standard roof with roof tiles, so opaque).
We are concerned that this might reduce the amount of natural light entering the rooms (south / south-east side) so much that the rooms could become "too dark." The terrace would extend about 3.60 meters (12 feet) from the windows and be approximately 8.25 meters (27 feet) wide.
What do you think?

Are there ways to calculate the sunlight incidence based on the data?Yes, this kind of calculation is commonly used for solar panel installations when shading is an issue. The principle is essentially the same. You can also calculate the intensity of sunlight or the potential losses.

No manufacturer, but handcrafted work by our masons, carpenters, and façade specialists. The side sail comes from the interior designer.

Getting permits is always tricky. You never really know what is allowed and where you might run into problems afterwards. We are soon going to build a roofed structure and found some websites about building permits/planning permission that were quite helpful for us.
Otherwise, I know the problem with having a fair skin all too well. While others tan easily, I’m already on my 10th layer of sunscreen.
