Energy Saving Skylights

The large, naturally lit kitchen is the heart of the house. Messmate-clad cupboards and huge expanses of glass dominate the space where Angelucci uses the sink, Gorman works at the kitchen island, and Pepa and Hazel look on. Play in the courtyard between the kitchen and garage is easily supervised and enclosed from the alley behind the house.

“We edited down until the house just became a pure white box,” Rogers says. “By the end of it all, we rethought everything except the internal walls.” The bright, skylit master bedroom is accented with Richard Woods’s iconic grains, which grace the floor.

In the living room, a double-height window and a skylight work together to frame a view of the Victorian Gothic church just across the street.

Sinks and a toilet from Laufen’s Il Bagno Alessi line add a sculptural presence to the master bathroom.
