Structurally, this project involved the conversion of a detached, obsolete garage into a liveable area – to create a separate ‘annexe’ allowing its inhabitants to live independently while retaining access to the family.
Furthermore, an additional extension was required so the main body of the building complemented the new development.
When forming this new extension, a priority was to avoid building a mere corridor between the old and new.
By introducing plenty of natural light with FAKRO roof windows, the character of the corridor evolved, making it an illuminated, pleasant space in its own right.
“The variety of products on offer from FAKRO allowed us to pick their centre-pivot rooflights for the existing annexe roof, and the flat roof windows for the extension roof, thus minimising suppliers."

Outside too, FAKRO roof windows offered the perfect opportunity to transform the structure and realign its relationship with the garden.
This means the home owners will enjoy sunlight and additional views of their surrounding environment, throughout their home for years to come.
