Dormer window
A window that extends vertically from a sloping roof, typically set within a small roofed structure. It enhances natural light and ventilation in attic spaces and is commonly used to increase the usable space under the roofs. Dormer windows are found in various architectural styles and are particularly common in regions with steeply pitched roofs.
