Quality daylight in a bathroom lifts the space to luxury
Single-story buildings with flat roofs and deep rooms often struggle to bring natural light into every corner. Most often, bathrooms and wardrobes will be placed in the middle of the plan. Natural ventilation and good daylight are crucial to these humid or prone to humidity spaces.
A roof opening will distribute more daylight into central rooms and other darkened areas. Installing a simple roof window can cost less than some kitchen appliances – and yet the daylight and ventilation it provides can brighten up and transform a space, improve thermal comfort, save energy, and even improve health and well-being over the long term.
Are there utility spaces in the home that, by introducing daylight, can be transformed into a real entertainment area?
Often utility spaces are taken for granted and not given a lot of thought throughout the design process. Can a forgotten garage space be transformed into a highly valuable ‘workshop’ space with the addition of quality daylight?
This can increase the value of a home’s floor area without creating a need to increase the building footprint. Daylight & ventilation in these spaces brings large comfort and health benefits as well as the perception of generous space. Does your design include a basement with limited natural light? Consider extending the footprint to allow flat roof windows to be installed above - completely transforming the space.
