Dormer Inside

A dormer and a cupola can bring light into a room from the roof.  We use cupolas both as a way to bring in light and as a decorative element viewed from the exterior.  Dormers can do the same thing, but can also provide views and additional full height space inside a room.  Shed dormers allow us to keep the exterior of a building low while maximizing useable square footage within.

Whether we are brightening up a one story home or creating a cozy reading nook in a bedroom, dormers are one of the architects’ favorite tools.  Cupolas on the other hand are like little buildings perched atop a roof and I find it hard not to smile when I see one shining in the night.

    Jim,
    It was good to see you; and the show was well done with a nice mix of quality people.
    Love the picture of the hungry crew at the feed bunk!
    Be well, John
