Eyebrow Windows
Definition: “Eyebrow or eyelid dormer [and window]: A low dormer on the slope of a roof. It has no sides, the roofing being carried over it in a wavy line. The bottom of an eyebrow dormer is flat and the top is curved. Like skylights, dormer windows are a source of light and ventilation for top floors, but unlike skylights (which are parallel to the roof surface) they also increase the amount of headroom in the room and allow for more usable space.”
