If you know where you want the windows and comfortable in sizing and locations. You could skip the architect. You may need an engineer and a good contractor. Thats a bit of work and the brick complicates things, might run into duct work, plumbing and electrical that needs to addressed as well.

Thanks Todd! I have an idea of where I want them, I’m just trying to decide if I trust my eye, lol. This is pretty far out of my wheelhouse for the norm.

Where do you want to put the windows? Placement and style will be important to keep consistent.

Weve done this on our house, but we have cedar siding not brick. My husband is very handy so we did all the work ourselves. We made sure the windows were the same height, style as the existing. At the time we did this, we also were enclosing another, smaller window, so we removed all the interior Sheetrock and reinsulated the exterior wall.

What spaces are in the areas you want windows? A few pic from the interior might help to see what you are dealing with.
