Window ideas for a central room

    Im looking for a bit of advice, we are getting an extension onto the back of our bungalow which will leave 1 room without out a window.

    The extension will have a flat roof so would it be possible to put a window above the new roof with a light tunnel leading into the room.

    Or how hard would it be to get a velux put in the current roof leading down to the room,I think no matter what we chose we will need some form of tunnel as the room is not in contact with the roof at all.

    Thanks

    Have a room with no windows at all, made it in to a home cinema, now everyone wants one ;-)

    You could vault the ceiling of the inner room and put a couple of roof windows on that.

    You could put glass in the existing bungalow roof and extend the walls of the inner room up underneath the roof to give a completely different feel to the room.

    You could put some light tubes onto the ceiling of the inner room.

    Your best bet is to ask someone who is used to designing these elements to have a look at it with you, sometimes being at the actual job site screams the solution at you....:D

    +1 to Poor Uncle Tom's advice.

    maybe the design of the extension can be changed and the problem solved in another way.

    This is what Architects are trained to do.
