Good afternoon! I'm currently drawing up draft plans for the conversion of a stone & block built shed adjoining our house. We're re-opening a door between the house and the shed (when we find it!) and are going to be having exclusively Velux windows in the living room section so we don't overlook / are overlooked by our neighbours.
The side of the roof we're planning to put the Veluxes in is south facing so plenty of light but, as these will be the only windows in the room I'm curious as to how many we should have, hopefully you can help?
The room will be 18' x 12'6" and the Velux windows we are wanting are 134cm x 140cm (W x H). We had thought about two, quite low down in the roof with light-tunnels through the loft area into the living room. Do you think two will be enough?
Also, there will also be a study of 9'7" x 7'6" which will have a further south-facing Velux (same size as above) and a west-facing tilt & turn window which will be obscured glass for privacy. Obviously, this room will be very light!
The remaining 9'7" x 5' will be taken up by an externally accessed store room as we need somewhere to keep bikes etc and to give loft access.
Any thoughts are very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance, David [/u]
