The result is a gabled roof that extends to the ground on both sides. Strategically placed openings along the sides of the roof provide natural light without compromise to privacy. In addition, the middle area between the interior and exterior wall works as a thermal environment, as well as to provide visual transparency for the client’s to see their children play.
