dormers
Windowed roof extensions
Dormers are windows that project vertically from a sloping roof, each housed in its own small roofed structure.
They add light and headroom to attic spaces: The old farmhouse had three dormers across the front.
The singular dormer can refer to either the window or the entire projecting structure containing it.
