The bedrooms feel like sanctuaries, as they’re much darker and enclosed than other spaces in the home.

Light streams into the bedroom through walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. The windows are triple-glazed, creating a tight, eco-friendly seal.

In the bedroom, an IKEA bed frame and CADO wall unit are drenched with natural light during the day from the skylights overhead. “The effect of daylight through skylights is very different than from a window,” Hart says. “You feel every minute of the day as light in the space ebbs and flows with the passing clouds.”
