Begging for help on gable windows!

9 years ago

Hi Everyone - I'm constructing an addition on my home and I have a super dilemma related to the new gable windows... The photo below is the new gable from end; the view is of a lake, so totally want to maximize the view... The problem is that the window in the top that looks like an upside down T is just odd looking. The only reason why I have it is because the existing gable end on the left side has the exact same design...

From any angle you can not see both gable ends at the same time... So my dilemma is... how can I design the windows on the new gable end (photo below) to maximize the lake view and not have that strange design! Please help! Thank you!

You don't need square windows on top, to match below.

Go with the angle of your roof with the windows and do larger on the main ones. Make your bottom ones bigger then the middle and keep with the angle of roof to the windows. Looks like you have a great view!

The proportion is off on the placement of the window, it was placed too high on the house.

Ken, would you be able to draw out what you mean on a piece of paper and snap a photo of it? It sounds great but I can't visualize it!

Hi Randy and Happy Thanksgiving! Is the gable going to be some kind of room or open from below? If a new floor for a room, you would beable to frame in for windows and support, I see the main support framing is between the first floor windows. I will draw something out for you but need to know those couple questions. It does look like an upside down T and not much of a view with them.

Hi Randy this is what I was thinking about as this is the first idea, there can be others. I did this on word and then took photo of tv screen. I'm looking into a program to do this better. But gives you the idea look.
