Unfortunately not. I've definitely seen those in Glasgow tenements but none here barring the one over the flat door.
The door is basically never closed tbh unless
a) im trying to work with the kids around (which is rare as they are usually at nursery or occupied elsewhere when I'm working)
b) if I'm gaming and chatting on discord and my wife is on the phone or watching something on her laptop without headphones.
It's handy to keep the door on at least for now as my kids are 3 and 1 years old. The lock is my main defence against mashed rice cake being pushed through the fan grill of my PC when I'm not watching

Did the door ever have a glazed panel above it? It's a standard detail in Edinburgh tenements for sure. If it did, might be an option to reinstate the glazing to allow some measure of natural light. They sometimes have a hinge at the base of the glazed bit which also allows some air movement.
It's an interesting project and I'd do the same to my boxroom, but I don't like being cooped up (and the boxroom is full of bikes). If I were you I'd leave the door open, or at least form a louvre for ventilation as it will get stuffy.
