How is this called and cost?

1. In French, it’s a called a chien-assis. Can’t say for sure about the price but it’s not cheap. I would say in the 20K but others might have a better idea. Also if you’re in Brussels, you’ll definitely need a permit for this.

3. In Dutch (The Netherlands) we call these: Dakkapel

4. Please know i didn’t calculate the cost. This is just a copy-paste from google:

   Een kleine maat dakkapel van 250 cm breed en 150 cm hoog liggen gemiddeld tussen de € 3000,- en € 5000,-. Hierbij is hout het goedkoopst. Een gelijke maat prefab dakkapel heeft u voor rond de € 4000,- en een dakkapel van polyester is het duurst.

5. In Dutch it’s called a “dakkapel”. I’m also considering one, my architect quoted 10k EUR as the cost. That would be for a smaller one for a narrow row house. Building permit needed.

   ETA: I’m answering OP’s question, not looking for commentary on my own plans/architect/state of my roof, tyvm.

6. Dakkapel, and depending on the difficultie of your situation.. between 15 and 30k easily.

7. In English it’s called a dormer.

8. Pre built it’s 10-15 k depending on the finish.
   Built on site it’s at least 20 k.

9. It’s a ‘hot in summer, cold in winter’ 😛

10. In English I think it’s a shed roof dormer. Pre-fabricated. Might be called clerestory windows also, Lichtbeuk.

11. It’s called an abomination and installing it might get you in the Ugly Belgian Houses book. Depending on if they pay royalties to homeowners these days you might make a profit 🤡 

12. Dakkapel, ask your roofworker for it.

13. Ne kiekuut.

    Standvenster heb ik ook nog gehoord.

    Prijs verschilt naar grootte, afwerking, kwaliteit materiaal… Laat een paar plaatselijke dekkers er hun offerte eens insteken.

14. In German we call it Gaube or more specifically Dachgaube

15. in french I think it is ‘chien assis’ or “Sitting dog” 🙂
