I'm looking for something similar in an extension and haven't seen one quite as nice as this.

Voted for the Capside Lamps! They are so original! I would love to put these in a kids room or a sleek white office to add a splash of colour and a different texture.

Having had another look at roof lanterns, we've decided we prefer the look of flat glass windows. Just a personal preference that it's nice to have something with a clear view of the sky and no frame. Love the look of your kitchen Jayne Forrest so thanks for sharing. One plan - good idea to add to the CAD drawing, will look into that. Sterling build - thanks for the advice, I've been looking at the roof Windows you supply so will be in touch

Let me stop you there. We are not allowed to build a shed by the fence. Apparently, there is a rule that a certain percentage of your lot needs to be open (= garden or unused). We exceed that percentage anyhow, but fortunately we're not obliged to tear something down :-). I should tell you the background story of the house. It was originally planned as a wool warehouse. The huge storage area at the rear was intended for trucks. Our garden was the driveway. The wool store went bankrupt even before the building was finished (1966). In 1967 the local tax collector had it's office here, because the building of their new offices (across the street) was delayed. That explains the strange internal division within the house. After the tax man left, it was converted into a house (I think around 1970). It has been renovated at least twice, but never structurally. Last reno was done in 2009, by an elderly couple with a 100% different taste than ours. We bought it in 2010. It was at a bargain price for this location, certainly for such a big property. Nobody really knew what to do with it, I guess. But we saw potential. We tore up the driveway and made a garden there. But Jonathan's idea about softening the boundaries is brilliant. We really need to do that, probably after the renovation of the house. One thing I haven't mentioned and it's not really clear in the plan: in our pantry there is a stairway to the cellar. This somewhat limits what can be done there.

finishing on frameless fixed skylight

Hi Cloughie, If you have two different and or difficult materials to join you can use something called a shadow gap, which (like your builder has said) could be created via an invisible or visible metal or UPVC profile. The builder is also being very practical because his plasterer (unless very good) will struggle with the the finish without a bead of some-sort to catch the edge of the plaster. The image you have provided is by an excellent architect and to be honest they probably spent hours designing that detail to get it "just right". To give you as much help without more information, the first place to look is in the technical drawing section of the skylight manufacturer. Look for the "section drawing or detail" through the skylight and up-stand where it meets the roof. This will show you where their proprietary "stop end" for plasterboard (f the have one) is currently positioned and will give you clues as to how it would look if you used it and show you exactly how much space you have to design your detail. From the information you have provided, the easiest way to achieve this would be by using the bead as per your builders suggestion and oversizing the skylight slightly so that you don't see the edges from the view angles in the room (or if you have already got it on site make it a little smaller by using two layers of plasterboard to hide the frame or up-stand from view). This detail is from Slimline Aluminium (web link here)http://www.slimlinealuminium.co.uk/products/roof-lights/slimline-pyramid-skylight/ Although the detail shows a pitched roof light, the detail you are looking for is similar. You will need to cross check it against your own and show it to your builder. This detail is one fromDouble Installations and this example shows their proprietary stop bead which is matched to brilliant bright white (or for a small fee you could probably ask them to match it to your proposed ceiling colour).(http://www.doubledinstallations.co.uk/skylights.html) I think the skylight in your picture is from "Glazing Vision" (they are excellent, and I have used them before). You might want to give them a call and have a talk about that project. Their technical department is very helpful. I hope that gave you a place to start and helped you visualise how to create your lovely detail. Have a great day. Jo
