North-Northwest orientation with veranda = dark house?

And at north-northwest there is no sun in winter even without a covered veranda. But I would also follow the recommendations of ypg.

One could also say that with a covered veranda facing south, no sun shines through the window there.

But that is not up for discussion ... I don't understand your comment.

Don't take it personally just because your quote is expanded. What I meant to tell the OP with that: no matter which direction the veranda faces - the window located there will never have sunlight shining through. In that respect, the orientation doesn't matter.

But that's not true either ... In winter, when the sun is much lower, it can shine into the rooms through a veranda.

For example, with mine, the terrace door is covered by almost 4 meters ... currently, in the morning, the east sun shines on the dust on the living room cabinet there ... in summer it can't do that, because at that point the sun is already higher.

Yes, but these minutes, or even if it is an hour, are not really a reason to refer to the orientation here. If someone wants sun in the living space, i.e. in the open-plan room, then this room must be sunlit when the person can enjoy time at home. If there is a veranda, these windows are excluded, even if "there is a time". That would be a lazy compromise. North rooms can also be bright, yet the sun will rarely shine in there, only about half an hour in summer.

Therefore: look, evaluate!
