ᐅ Looking for a good lighting solution for the attic space

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

What do you mean by a light strip in the bathroom? If the north side stays as it is, only double casement windows are possible.

The building authorities hardly care about the window shape. I think they would just find it strange if you suddenly had a completely different appearance.


This is what I mean by a light strip with double casement windows... another user had already suggested it.



As long as I stay within the legal framework, I don’t care about the looks :-)))))))

Oh well, to me that’s still just a double casement window. But anyway – always bring in the light. 🙂

However, that’s not relevant yet. I would just run the empty conduits all the way up – especially the toilet pipe should already be where it needs to be.

Ok... understood, but the windows should ideally be installed beforehand, right?
