What Exactly is a Dormer?
A dormer is a bump out in the design of a homes roof. Often used on Capes, or homes with steep roof lines. A dormer creates more usable space, and headspace within a room.
Here in Burlington Vermont, dormers are widely used for a variety of projects and uses. In old down town homes dormers are used to convert attic space into apartments. And, in single family homes, dormers are used to convert attic space into walk-in closets and other private, useful areas. How the space is used is ultimately up to the homeowner but the approach is the same – take a steep roof, cut a very large hole in it, add windows, and put the roof back on. These windows, also make many of Burlington’s underutilized viewpoints, usable to the owners. Bonus!
