Definice a Význam "dormer"

What is a "dormer"?

A dormer is a structural element that protrudes from a sloped roof, typically featuring a window and a small roof of its own. Dormers are commonly used to create additional living space or light in an attic or upper floor of a building. They can vary in design, including styles such as gabled, hipped, or shed dormers. By breaking up the roofline, dormers add architectural interest and enhance the overall appearance of a home. They also provide ventilation and can improve the functionality of the upper level, making it more inviting and usable.
