Loft dormer

A dormer is a structural element of a building that protrudes from the plane of a sloping roof surface, creating usable space in the roof of a building by adding headroom and often allowing for the addition of a windows.  We added a dormer to achieve both of these goals: more headroom and more light in the loft.  In a small spaces like ours, a dormer can make a world of difference. Spaces that might feel claustrophobic and tight can suddenly feel open and spacious with the addition of the dormer.
