As the hours of daylight are finally getting longer and balmy summer evenings are right around the corner, we start to remember just how good natural illumination can make us feel. So it’s no surprise that designing a home that pulls ample brightness inside as the sun moves across the sky is high on the priority list for most self builders and renovators. Installing large spans of glazing will help to achieve this – and positioning them high up into the peak of your roof will maximise light gain and capture upper storey views, not to mention add to your home’s architectural appeal.
