The orientation of the terraced house meant that it was important to gain as much natural light as possible. We have designed a long rooflight on top of the side extension, located right above the dining table. It brings a lot more daylight than the original bay window while retaining as much natural light as possible in the adjacent living room.
There are also sliding folding doors located in the continuity of the kitchen island that can be fully opened, so when the weather is nice you feel like you are standing in your garden.
