In any building, there must always be space for natural light. Whether new build or refurbishment, the abundance of natural daylight is not only a fundamental element of an interior space it is essential for the occupant's well-being.

Glazing Vision's one wall box rooflights were incorporated in Taylor Wimpey's prestigious, high specification residential development at St Dunstan's House, Fetter Lane in the City of London. The scheme provides 76 luxury private apartments, a residents' lounge and library, landscaped courtyard in a historic setting, complete with basement parking and concierge facilities.
