Through-The-Cornice Dormer
A Through-The-Cornice Dormer is a type of window projection typically found on the uppermost story of a building. It is characterized by its construction extending through, and visible from the exterior, the cornice line of the building's façade. This type of dormer is built in the form of a gable, or an arched roof, and is often used to create additional living space in a building, typically in attics. By extending through the cornice, it allows for more natural light to enter the building, increasing views, and adding an aesthetically pleasing architectural feature to the exterior of the building.

Through-The-Cornice Dormer
A Through-The-Cornice Dormer is a type of architectural construction that is used to extend a room or structure out from an existing roof. This type of dormer typically has an angled, slanted roof that projects outward and upward from the roof at an angle, creating a space for additional windows or ventilation. The angled roof is framed by a cornice or decorative trim that is made from metal or wood, creating a distinctive look. This type of dormer is often used to increase the amount of natural light and airflow within a space, while still maintaining the integrity of the original roofline.
