How can residential architecture design be used to promote natural light in an attic space?

There are several design strategies that can be implemented to promote natural light in an attic space:

1. Roof Windows: Install roof windows to allow natural light to enter and illuminate the space. A skylight can also be installed to allow light to enter the space through the roof.

2. Dormer Windows: Incorporate dormer windows into the design of the attic space. These are vertical windows that project out of the roof, allowing natural light to enter and creating a brighter, more open atmosphere.

3. Light Colors: Use light colors on the walls and ceilings to promote brightness in the space. Light colors reflect light and create the illusion of more space.

4. Mirrors: Install mirrors in the space to reflect natural light and enhance the brightness.

5. Open Floor Plan: Create an open floor plan that allows natural light to flow freely throughout the space.

6. Controlled Glare: Use window treatments, such as curtains or shades, to control the amount of glare and heat that enters the space through the windows. This will help to create a comfortable and well-lit environment.
