A Vision of Vibrancy

Sunsquare had the privilege of contributing to an extraordinary new-build home in the Cotswolds, designed for clients with a bold and distinctive style. Crafted by architectural designer Charlie Luxton, this modern villa centres on a striking rotunda, the heart of the home. Our role was to create a breathtaking skylight that illuminates the family room, enhancing the space’s vibrant character and bringing its vivid design to life.

The Rotunda’s Role

The rotunda is the home’s focal point, a beautifully designed atrium with polished plaster walls. A gold leaf globe adorns the floor, inscribed with a family motto, while an antique lantern, customised with copper birds and monkeys, hangs above. The family room below is a lively hub for gatherings, hosting grandchildren for lunches and baking sessions. The space is described as so joyful it feels like you could dance through it. Our 10-metre skylight crowns this area, flooding it with natural light that highlights the lemon-yellow walls, red library shelves, and green floors.

Delivering Excellence

Working alongside contractor S&F Hood, we ensured our skylight integrated seamlessly with the home’s sustainable design, which includes triple glazing and an airtight structure. Remarkably, we completed the installation in just two days, a testament to our precision and expertise. A grand chandelier will soon hang from the skylight’s centre, promising to elevate the space further. While initial photographs are impressive, they only hint at the skylight’s impact. We’re eager to capture drone footage once the build is complete to showcase its full splendour.

Sunsquare’s Contribution

Sunsquare delivered the following for this exceptional project:

• A bespoke 10-metre circular skylight, meticulously designed to complement the rotunda’s architecture and maximise natural light in the family room.

• A high-performance installation, engineered to align with the home’s advanced sustainability features, including triple glazing and airtight construction.

A Home Full of Character

This residence perfectly reflects its owners’ personalities. The kitchen, painted a radiant lemon-yellow, feels like stepping into sunlight, while the turquoise office features a chandelier adorned with teacups. Unique touches abound, from a garden water feature disguised as a tree to a statue reimagined as contemporary art. Our skylight unifies these elements, ensuring the space feels dynamic and inviting. We look forward to sharing a comprehensive case study, complete with drone footage, and hearing the owners’ thoughts on living beneath this remarkable feature.
