Help with Windows!

5 years ago

Hi there,
Does anyone have ideas for window layout for the front of our house?? It’s a 14ft roof so we will likely put fixed windows since it’s just for light.

Thank you for your advice :)

No where near enough info. The interior needs to be considered for window layout at the exterior. Bedrooms require egress windows for emergency escape. Houses also require ventilation so the windows cannot all be fixed. One elevation is also no help do you have scaled drawings of the complete exterior? Floor plans?

Left of front door will be a closet so likely no window there. Above the door is nothing - It’s literally a 14ft wall. I live in an unorganized township so no official drawings or floor plan. And we don’t have any expertise in this stuff where I live.
