Please help with this back dormer!

[user1499523365]

The width is 5.8 and there is a beautiful view at the back.

Problem is the pitched roof underneath. It's not possible to have bi-folds or sliders across the width, which is a shame as it's crying out for it.

It looks like it will have to be 3m of bi-folds and then a window above where the point of the pitch stops.

Any other ideas to have bi-folds or sliders as wide as possible across the back without the view being ruined by a roof sticking up!

Thank you.

Not sure what you're actually asking here

I don’t understand what the question is either!

To try and get wider bi folds or sliders with the pitched roof below on first floor.

Nope. Still nothing.

nor me.

Me neither.

Well you can try, but the gap is the gap. Put a fly roof below and bingo... but you may not want that

Fly? flat.

You want to turn the little window at the top right into a big opening? Maybe even something big enough to walk through?

You'd have to take off the pitched roof, replace it with a flat roof and then make it strong & safe enough to walk on, so you could have it as a terrace.

Do you own the whole house, or is it a flat above the ground floor?

Flat could be an option. It would not look great from the rear but at least I would have the view. The other option would be having 3 large windows close to each other, so compromise on floor to ceiling glass.

You're not really asking for help in a very nice way - it's a bit demanding. Hence the puzzled answers.

Have you consulted an architect?

How about a window tracking the angle of the pitched roof, a bit like in this picture.

(Obviously that's an L shaped dormer but you could butt a window like this up to your French windows on the standard dormer to have a wall of windows)

Good idea Rose. Thank you, so I have the terrace and your suggestion as possibilities maybe I could do similar to the other side to make it symmetrical.
