This is weird regulation to me. Why it is not allowed for apartment, but it is OK for office? Both buildings are sheltering humans, just during different stage of being awake.
- TFNA 3mo agoLike the GP said: in offices the floor is often a big open space where light from windows can extend a long way. But once you start dividing up that big space into smaller residential units with walls, that light gets blocked.
- treis 3mo agoI don't think bedrooms really need windows and in some ways they're preferable with the light & noise reductions. Even if that's solved the bigger problem is earthquake code. These older buildings aren't up to modern code and significant renovations would require structure changes.

- watwut 3mo agoBedrooms are where people spend majority of their time when awake. It is where kids play, do homework, adults work from home, watch youtube, read internet. Unless we are talking about super large appartment with tons of rooms, they need windows
- Arnt 3mo ago1000m² with one window wall: do you think that's an open-plan office or an apartment? And you can't really split it into ten, an apartment with e.g. 5m of windows and 20m depth doesn't work.
