Windows Design Dilemma Remodeling

shed dormer windows

5 years ago

My husband and I are renovating this small farmhouse. He and the contractor came up with this shed dormer upstairs to allow us to add a much needed bathroom and increase space. But now it’s really bugging me that the windows are asymmetrical. The small one is there because that’s the bathroom and a full window wouldn’t have fit. Could this have been done better? Thoughts?

Could you have done it on the back side of the home?

It wouldn’t bother me at all, I think it’s quirky and just fine on a cottage or farmhouse. Very typical for them to have add-ons over the years. Gives it character. :)

Pretty setting there!

Can you put a small window on the other side? Make it more balanced.

All the windows are of different sizes giving it asymmetrical look. The setting is great but yes windows seem quiet odd though,

Yes agreed beautiful.

As an amateur -- the front steps and chimney, etc.. 'carry' the visual plenty, and reduce emphasis on that part.
