LIGHT GIVES VARIATION
There are windows in several sizes – a tall section with patio doors, a more traditionally sized window and small, narrow windows. The chosen plan gives very deep houses, where illumination can be a problem. It was, therefore, necessary to supplement the light from the windows in the outer wall with other light sources that will draw light into such rooms as staircases and deep sitting rooms. VELUX roof windows have, therefore, been used in the attics. On the roof, vault-shaped skylights have an unmistakeable "chimney" look. The "chimney" has the same effect as in a child's drawing – it helps to give the houses personality.
Inside the houses, corners that would
otherwise be short of light receive indirect light; windows between the rooms ensure that the light finds its way into the 12m deep houses. The many different light sources help to create variation in how one experiences the space, where interior stairs lead up and down and up again to an attic room with a window in the ceiling giving a view of the sun, the moon and the stars and birds flying past.
