Formed around a central piazza under a huge MARS automated 20m2 sliding roof light, the four bedroom elegant single storey Paragraph 79 dwelling is immersed in its rural Cambridgeshire setting enveloped in weathered steel Corten cladding.   

The 1375kg large bespoke sliding rooflight is fully automated and supported via a steel frame. Once opened to the maximum aperture, the centre of the home merges with the outside, flooding the space with light and fresh air connecting the classic colonnades structure to nature grounding this stunning symmetry of form and understated architecture to its stunning rural RSPB nature reserve surroundings that extends beyond four acres.  

The bespoke sliding lantern rooflight had to be fabricated and transported in two separate parts since access was limited on a small country road approximately only 3.3m wide.  Each triangular pane of the sliding lantern rooflight weighs 343kg to which some needed to be finished on site.

Having secured an unobtrusive route to this exemplary Country Clause House, the large bespoke sliding rooflight was installed using special craning equipment.  

The result is a one-of-a kind exemplary sustainable Country Clause House nestling effortlessly into its natural landscape further immersed by the bespoke sliding lantern rooflight creating a light filled biophilic atrium.
