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?

I double-checked the documents: The canopy was originally constructed using glued laminated timber beams and is now nearly 16 years old.
It covers just under 65 square meters (700 square feet).
The photo was taken today at 8:15 PM. Without the canopy, it wouldn’t be possible to sit there during the summer!

For the new house, a partial covered area is planned, possibly around a corner. What it will look like... we haven’t decided yet.

My parents’ house has something like that too, and it’s really great. We currently don’t have anything like it and can’t agree on what to do. I really like the idea from Bauexperte, but unfortunately my husband wants something completely different. Separate from the house with a masonry grill, etc. And worst of all, built by himself…

Yes, they are not cheap; on the other hand, they deliver very good quality!
What I would be interested in is the cost of the pavilion at your preferred model home. In 2010, the cost for a 3.00 x 3.00 m (10 x 10 feet) pavilion was already comparable to the cost of our larger pavilion; however, it was made entirely of wood.
Regards, BauexperteWeberhaus is currently having anniversary weeks, and as an anniversary special, you can get a small canopy for 5,555 EURO!
It is one third the size of the one at "my" show home!
EveundGerd8 May 2015 14:52I also like the roof structure from Bauexperte. This might be a good option to cover part of our new terrace. However, I would like to extend it around the corner since it is possible to walk all the way around our house. I need to find out who nearby has built something like this before.
