Bringing More Light Into a Kitchen Extension

A single large rooflight over a kitchen island often does more for natural light than extra wall glazing, particularly on extensions that face north or are overlooked by neighbouring buildings.

Orientation genuinely matters — a south-facing glass wall can mean excellent light but also significant summer heat gain, which is worth designing for with solar control glass or shading rather than discovering after the fact.

We model light and orientation at the design stage so you know roughly how a space will feel at different times of day before any glass is ordered.
