Hello everyone,
I would like to prepare our attic for the future, meaning it will most likely become a bedroom (children’s room or bedroom :-)).
Possible uses for us (initially):
- Storage space
- A shared retreat for the children
- Guest room
The roof pitch is approximately 30°.
Question:
I would like to bring more light into the attic.
Next to the entrance (west side), a small bathroom is planned.
Where else would you suggest adding windows, and which types?
Wishing you all a great weekend!
Best regards

Regarding the gable windows: if the room on the south side is going to be divided in the middle, the current window is less than ideal. Possibly add an additional window in the gable on the north side.I understand... but if anything, I would currently prefer an open-plan layout.
My idea was that the front door and the partition wall next to it should be made of glass, so that natural light from the stairwell can be carried through (not sure if that makes technical sense :-)?).

I am planning such floor-to-ceiling windows in our house.The knee wall will be at 0 or not raised at all, because according to the architect, the building would look too bulky from the outside. The clear ceiling height for the ground floor and first floor is planned to be 2.60 m (8.5 ft).
I have already seen with some roof windows that a minimum pitch of 35° (35 degrees) is required, which wouldn’t work for us.
At the moment, I am leaning towards tilt-and-turn windows.
