I notice that you live in Texas and guess that you will have the same summer problems that I have in Florida - it gets HOT! While my window views are lovely I had to get insulated black-out shades for my windows and an air conditioner in order to be able to work out there. Plenty of insulation in the walls and maybe a couple of solar tubes. I put in fluorescent ceiling lights and got natural sunlight tubes. Don't forget space for a design wall - I did!! Best wishes
