Dormer Style Ideas: Shed Dormer Windows

Gable Roof with Shed Dormer

A shed dormer is a popular addition because it extends living space with height and width. A shed dormer's eave line is parallel to the eave line of the roof.

Here, the addition of a shed dormer to an attic space not only floods the once-dark room with light but also provides much-needed headroom. Painted shake cedar shingles found elsewhere on the home's exterior make the dormer addition appear original to the residence.
