“To be able to respect the ‘massiveness’ of the roof, making bigger windows would be wrong, because we would lose the character of the farm,” Wynants explains. “Therefore, I was looking for other ways to collect light.

It keeps the sun out, so I have a splendid view when I’m working—I never need sun shades.”
