Love the entrance to the rooftop.

What is the name of the large skylight that opens to the rooftop named? This is a wonderful option to allow you to enter onto the rooftop. Cheers Don

Wow I haven't seen a rooftop skylight like that before. Its nice to see that a skylight can be used as an entrance and light exposure together.

Thanks, Timothy!

Hi Don!

The roof light is by Glazingvision - they even featured the project on their website. Here's a link to the product.

Very much like my hall (almost identical except ours is 1922 and thus the detail is a tad more Edwardian in influence) ! I've added a wall light on the wall going up the stairs and matching pendants from Fritz Fryer and added a plain paper from Zoffany (called 'silk plain') . Thus the basic scheme is very plain and layered up with artefacts (tables, hall chair, paintings). I've added mirrors to throw light around the place..and am hunting for a distressed antique one to go right at the top of the stairs facing you. It looks as though your stairs go to left and right too... so adding the mirror will I think create more light and ambiance in that rather dark junction. I do agree that it would be lovely to have the stained glass replaced in the door. I added full door curtains with a upholstered pelmet over the door which makes it look much less stark (personally I don't think the little shelf at right adds anything and I'd remove it ;( ). . I chose an embroidered linen from Sanderson for the curtains and used the same fabric for the landing window and hooked that back with a French swan neck holdback and they were hung from a brass reeded Jim Lawrence curtain pole which goes very well with the Fritz Fryer lighting fitments. It's still work in progress as our beautiful carpet had to be removed due to allergy and we're still trying to get the best result on the oak floor in the hall. Be lovely to see what you do given your layout is so similar! :)

You have a lovely modern house but the lack of privacy and aspect onto the neighbours rubbish bin could easily be addressed by building a solid wall with an oversized entrance gate or a modern trellis. The inside of the wall facing your large window would look amazing if you installed a living wall system. These are very easy to install and come in panels which are screwed onto a substrate. You could select plants that would thrive in the heat. This would give you privacy without having to look out onto a solid wall. I found this website which had some good images. http://treebox.co.uk/products/easiwall-green-wall.html http://treebox.co.uk/products/easiwall-green-wall.html

I hope it goes well. If you use a paper with an iridescent finish it will add some light and movement to the space. A vinyl finish will make it more hardwearing and easier to keep clean.

Thanks Victoria and 1shanson - I love both those ideas! Shame I don't drink or have a dog lol but I love creative ideas for using up otherwise redundant bits of space. I think I'll have to do as minnie101 suggested and leave it open, and secretly mourn the loss of my reading nook ; ) I was thinking of putting a console table and mirror under the stairs though? As the big wall next to the front door has the kitchen door opening out onto it. Loads of light there luckily as the kitchen and lounge doors are part glazed, and the hallway has a double/full? height ceiling that goes up to the roof beam, with some velux up there too.
