One of the main reasons to add a dormer to a house is to bring light into the attic or living space that's tucked under the roof. This is why dormers always feature one or more windows.
This dormer's half-round window uses some of the same stylistic details characteristic of Palladian windows, which often sit in arched top dormers. This dormer, though, is the eyebrow type because it lacks side walls. Many eyebrow dormers have roofs that flip up on the ends, but this is not an essential detail. Eyebrow windows can also be half-elliptical—or half-round like this one.
