What is a "clerestory"?
A clerestory is a high section of a wall that contains windows, allowing natural light to enter a space while maintaining privacy. Typically located above the roofline of nearby structures, clerestory windows are often used in large buildings such as churches, auditoriums, and galleries to brighten the interior without compromising wall space for furniture or other design elements. This architectural feature enhances the overall aesthetic by providing a sense of openness and airiness while improving ventilation. Clerestories are valued for their ability to bring light into deep spaces, creating a more inviting atmosphere.
