Tin House

Reminiscent of a Mediterranean village, the award-winning Tin House is snugly cocooned by traditional terraced houses in Shepherd’s Bush, West London.

Designed by Henning Stummel as a new home for his family, this impressive property is the winner of the RIBA London Award in 2016. 

The house comprises six interconnected, but distinct pods located around a central courtyard, lending the house a sense of much desired privacy and seclusion. The Rooflight Co was involved from the early planning stage resulting in a set of tailor-made trapezoidal Neo Rooflights positioned directly over each pod, fitting with millimetre precision to the contours of each roof. 

Externally, the rooflight frames were custom-coloured to match the RAL 8004 Brick Red standing seam metal cladding. Inside, the frameless design of the bespoke rooflights maximizes the viewable opening, seamlessly blending into the design to create the illusion of no window at all, as if the roof opens directly to the sky.

In collaboration with Henning Stummel, The Rooflight Co were able to create the perfect bespoke rooflight solution, ensuring the rooflight parameters were feasible whilst achieving the vision for the project.
