In the first part of this series on creating a better home, we looked at the importance of investing in high-quality, natural and sustainable materials for your build and their long-term benefits. For similar reasons, getting as much daylight into your design as possible should be a huge priority on your project checklist. Natural light has many advantages – not only in terms of aesthetics, but for your health and convenience.
It’s important to focus on daylight as early as possible in the design stage, assessing which methods of boosting natural brightness are most appropriate for your site and suited to your budget. For the second part in this series, I’m looking at the positive effects of maximising natural light and speaking to architects and glazing specialists about the best techniques to achieve this.
