Dine with natural light

Paterson Gordon Architecture were approached by Mr and Mrs Smith of Glasgow to bring their fresh idea to life.

The idea behind the development began when the Smiths were living with cold and damp conditions in their previous conservatory. They wished to create a bright, open space with abundant natural light which would suit the lifestyle of their young family.

The hipped roof of the existing dwelling led to Paterson Gordon Architecture designing the extension with a ‘flat’ three degree roof pitch. The architects refrained from imitating the form and materials of the existing dwelling, instead choosing to use complementary materials which sit comfortably alongside the existing traditional building form.

To compliment the aluminium flashings which provided the roof with a sharp edge, FAKRO DMF and DXF flat roof windows were selected.
