Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.

I don't understand the issue of bedrooms without a window. I once lived in a tiny studio apartment with a windowless bedroom. The total dark and silence gave me the best undisturbed sleep I ever had.

Fire codes generally require that bedrooms have 2 exits.
