Why this Montrose job matters
This project shows how multiple fixed skylights can change the feel of a timber-lined home by adding daylight from above while keeping the roof and internal layout considered. For the kitchen and lounge, larger roof openings were used to bring light into key everyday areas.
The bathroom was suited to a rigid high-reflective sun tube, which is a practical option where a smaller room needs daylight but a larger skylight is not the best fit.
