For our latest lookbook,<\/a> we’ve selected eight windowless or low-light bedrooms<\/a> illuminated with the help of strategically placed cutouts and clever layout solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedrooms without windows are normally seen as less attractive, but these projects show how a windowless bedroom can be made cosy and light.<\/p>\n

Whilst most of these bedrooms don’t have their own windows, they have been strategically placed in buildings with multiple windows or skylights nearby, which creates striking sculptural interiors and means they still get some light.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring blank windowless buildings<\/a> and small bedrooms that utilise limited space<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Love2 House, Japan, by Takeshi Hosaka<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Architect Takeshi Hosaka<\/a> created Love2 House, a microhome in Tokyo<\/a> with a floor area of just 19 square metres, featuring a compact bedroom lit by the building’s tall skylights.<\/p>\n

Casa Alf\u00e9rez, Mexico, by Ludwig Godefroy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Casa Alf\u00e9rez, a house just outside of Mexico City<\/a> designed by Ludwig Godefoy<\/a>, features a bedroom integrated into its wider open-plan layout. Natural light illuminates the house throughout from skylights in its ceilings.<\/p>\n

Utilising skylights instead of multiple windows gives the house a “cathedral feeling and proportion on the inside, with light entering everywhere from the top,” Godefroy said.<\/p>\n

Morelia house, Mexico, by HW Studio Architects<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of using regular windows to illuminate the bedroom in this Morelia house, designers HW Studio Architects<\/a> created folding glass walls that are arranged around courtyards<\/a> within the building.<\/p>\n

“The house reminds us of the arcades around the courtyard of San Agustin convent under which pilgrims and travellers sheltered, drank and fed from the many orange trees planted,” said lead architect Rogelio Vallejo Bores.<\/p>\n

Muted tones of grey concrete create a calm atmosphere in the bedrooms of Casa na Cani\u00e7ada by Carvalho Ara\u00fajo<\/a>, which are located on the “bunker-like” building’s windowless upper floor and feature glass walls alongside white curtains<\/a>.<\/p>\n
