He did write that there should be no walls. Therefore, no doors either. If the gable windows are not to be larger (I would consider the interior functionality more important than the exterior appearance), I would definitely have the 6 windows installed. The room is over 70 sqm, so that is already little.

How big should the roof windows be? There are also cool double window options or these standing balconies... Maybe two wider/larger ones per side could also be an option? Personally, I always find these tiny roof windows on large roofs a bit lost, and yet it’s darker inside than you would hope from so many windows...

Basically, we are talking about unlaid eggs here: you can tell from the dotted lines that the positions of the roof windows are just possible suggestions on how you could (or should? ;)) do it.

So if you don’t want to, you probably won’t get the indicated elements either.

However, they are not entirely pointless: a studio in a house is and can be a one-room apartment, meaning a room with multiple functions. In that respect, I find the roof windows for different living areas, which would need to be separated, quite sensible.


It says here as well: if you want to separate, the areas need light.
But not only then:


If the room always stays as planned and you want to use it as living space, i.e. a room for staying in, then you have to say: they are definitely _not_ too many!
90 sqm of living space requires several sqm of window area.
If you then also consider the length of the house/room and the rather dark roof slopes, we are talking about accordingly more window area. (I have deleted my 7.2 sqm and 9 sqm here because the roof slopes make the room smaller, but they also don’t make it any lighter.)
So, with these windows, there is no "oh, how wonderfully bright" exclamation yet. It is simply necessary, to illuminate the room, soberly said.
In this respect, the architect has done a good job technically by drawing it in.
If money is available, I would fully glaze the gable ends and place two roof windows in the middle. If not, then don’t call it a studio but rather a converted attic.
Then gladly with 6 larger roof windows.

I would also reconsider photovoltaic. And therefore definitely consider the gable glazing and fewer roof windows.

Yes, we are doing that in parallel. Hence also the question about the quantities of roof windows.
