Those of you who read my previous thread found out that I'm building a new shop. This is going to be a detached 24'x36' building that will sit right beside my house. The walls will be 9' feet high and the ceiling will be vaulted. I want to make sure the shop has plenty of natural light. Meaning: lotsa windows and possibly some skylights. Not only am I looking for light to enter the space, but I would also like to be able to see out of the windows. The reason I mention that is because I have seen shops that have windows up high, which is nice, but I want to be able to see out. That said, not all windows in the shop need to be at eye level. I'm up for mixing it up. Assuming the door will be on the front 24' side and the back 24' side will have no windows, where would you place the windows on the other two sides? Although cost is a factor, let's ignore that for now. Sky's the limit.
Specifically: How many windows would you have? What size? How high? How much space between them (so I still have room to hang stuff)? What else should I be thinking about?
Before you say it, please don't recommend that I plan out the layout of the machines in the space and go from there. I have made an attempt at doing that but I know the layout is going to change once I get in there and work on a couple of projects. Therefore, I want to make sure the windows are placed in such a way that I can be flexible with my equipment.
