Rooflight Design Options for Rear Extension
We are designing a single-storey rear and two-storey side extensions to
a terraced house in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
We made some design options of rooflights for our clients'
consideration. As the 3-m deep rear extension will make the floor plan
quite deep, some rooflights are useful to add more daylight towards the
centre of the house. The atmosphere of the living/dining/kitchen area
will also be quite different depending on the design and arrangement of
the rooflights.
The rooflights should be placed at the junction of the extension to the
existing house to have the maximum performance, but at the same time it
would be nice if they could be just above the dining table and island
kitchen counter to have focal points in the room. Or would it be better
if the skylights demarcate and separate the areas of
living/dining/kitchen spaces? We need to visualise the ideas and see how
it works, or not.
