ᐅ Planning the Patio Roof: How Will It Affect Natural Light in the Rooms?

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?

If I remember correctly, yes; except—of course—the concrete columns.
Yes. That’s why our clients later installed an additional sail below the laminated glass.
Regards, BauexperteWhat do you mean by concrete columns? The two feet on the left and right sides, or?
And the structure that was installed on top is made from glued laminated timber beams, right?
Is it allowed to post a link from the prefab house provider?

You probably mean Weberhaus, right?
Best regards, Bauexperte

However, it probably won’t be feasible cost-wise.Yes, they are not inexpensive; on the other hand, they deliver very good quality!What I would be interested in are the costs of the pavilion of your preferred modular home. In 2010, the costs for a 3.00 x 3.00 m (10 x 10 ft) pavilion were already comparable to the costs of our larger pavilion, although entirely made of wood.

Best regards, BauexperteI'm a bit confused. What do you mean by MH?
