Deck in front/above basement window

[sockerollon]

Sitting and trying to find something similar online but no luck.

I'm planning to build a ground-level or slightly above-ground deck. The problem is that we have two basement windows located below ground level in dug-out "pockets" of 80x60cm. I would like the deck to go right up to the facade, but how do you create a good compromise between the deck's aesthetics and continued light entry through the basement windows?

All tips are greatly appreciated!

One suggestion is to place the deck around the "fickorna". Possibly placing a glass/translucent plastic sheet over the "fickan" to avoid the risk of stepping into the hole.

what kind of room is in the basement?
if you can manage without the two basement windows, brick them up, so you won't have to paint them

A laundry room. I find the light quite nice.

Regarding glass, I like the idea. It could look nice to embed in the floor. What kind of glass do you use? Expensive as hell, I guess?

No idea. It was just an idea A glazier should be able to give some hint.

Weld a frame and build with glass block bricks?
