Dormers are usually built into the roof of a house that has living space in close proximity to the roof, such as an attic bedroom. Light and air flow are essential for the vitality and comfort of attic rooms. Dormers provide more space and dormer windows provide that light and the free flow of air.
Because attic rooms can be very stressful on air conditioning units, it is vital that warm air is not allowed to collect for long. Therefore, it is usually best that dormer windows be double-hung, meaning they open both at the top and bottom of the window frame. This creates a draft that pushes warm air out the top of the window while allowing cool air to flow in through the bottom half.
As mentioned, dormer windows also allow natural light into the room. This, combined with the added view from the highest point in the house, make dormers, and attic rooms in general, great places for desks and famous avenues of inspiration for writers over the centuries.
