Rooflights from Glazing Vision bring daylight and style to a new-build house in the Derbyshire Dales

Situated in the Derbyshire Dales and taking advantage of spectacular views, this new-build house employs three Glazing Vision rooflights to create a contemporary aesthetic with an open plan feel that is brimming with daylight.

The clients asked Planning & Design Practice to create a bespoke, new-build dwelling with private open-plan living and a contemporary feel. The project, however, was limited by covenants imposed on the site, which meant that no windows could be side-facing towards the south west. This meant that fixed flat rooflights were required to get daylight into the sides of the building – without overlooking neighbours – as well as facilitate a deeper floor plan with a bright and light-filled central core.

Initially, a generously sized Glazing Vision flat glass Flushglaze rooflight, measuring 980x2680mm, was specified for the entrance hall. This ensured clean lines and prevented any visual impact on the front elevation when viewed from outside. The frameless interval views create the perfect effect, allowing high levels of daylight to illuminate the space.

But as the development grew, the ability to add fixed pitched roof windows appealed to the homeowners. The Contractor, JPD properties, worked with Glazing Vision to come up with a solution for the pitched glazing located on the two-storey element of the house. “The finished result looks great”, says project architect Lindsay Cruddas. “The clients love the space created and the light which enters their home.”
