BESPOKE ROOFLIGHTS ENHANCE LONDON HOME

Located in a West London conservation area, the existing property required updating by remodelling the kitchen and dining room that suffered poor connection to the rear garden. North facing, these rooms received little daylight from the modest sized windows. It was a dark and dingy space.
Architect Simon Feneley’ s response at Feneley Studio, was to reconfigure the ground floor providing a utility and cloakroom off the entrance hall with a formal sitting room at the front of the property. A full height sliding pocket door reveals a newly extended family room with a panoramic view of the garden.
The roof of the extension is asymmetrical about the axis from the front door, providing increased floor to ceiling height and avoiding a long continuous corridor. Custom made East and West facing rooflights by Lonsdale provide generous amounts of natural light and are a focal point of the extension with dramatic results as the sun moves from early morning until dusk.
Ever changing forms of sunlight fall upon the polished concrete flooring which runs throughout the ground floor, with daylight washing down the full height herringbone wall tiling in the contemporary kitchen.
Established in 1946, Lonsdale are the UK’ s leading manufacturer of patent glazing, roof lanterns and bespoke glass rooflights. A range of rooflights is available including fixed, multipane, electric or manual opening and walk-on glass. Prestigious buildings featuring Lonsdale systems include The British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, The V & A Museum, St Pancras and Kings Cross Stations and homes of Sir James Dyson, Richard & Judie Madeley, The Cartier Family and HRH Prince Edward and Sophie Countess of Wessex.
