The division of the costs will be laid down in the deed of division and/or the division regulations that have been declared applicable to this division (in the deed of division). You must therefore check these documents to see what applies in your case. The starting point is that the members of the VvE (the various apartment owners) contribute to the costs of the supporting structure, foundation, roof and exterior walls, so I expect that the costs of the roof and the window frame are for the account of the members of the VvE (both of you).
