Have you ever wondered why in some houses you feel light and comfortable, while in others you feel constrained and uncomfortable?

Lighting plays an essential role here, especially natural lighting. It is this, together with the electric one, that creates an atmosphere of lightness and spaciousness, brings "air" into the room.

You can achieve this feeling with the help of panoramic windows and a second light.

The second light is an additional row of windows, in a room without an interfloor overlap, located at the level of the second floor. This technique was used back in the days of the Roman Empire, and it still has not lost its effectiveness and efficiency. Although it can be done in another way!

The increased area of ​​glazing makes the interior refined, easily lets in daylight and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. The second light is especially relevant in regions with a small number of sunny days, when you want to add maximum airiness and illumination to the space.

It should be noted that the area of ​​the house for the competent implementation of the project with a second light must be at least 120 sq. m., and the room itself should be spacious so that the effect of a "well" is not created.

Here is the project of the house in these photos. We removed the second light on it

Here is the perfect embodiment of a home with a second light.
Panoramic glazing, high ceilings, the absence of unnecessary partitions and a free layout expand the space, allowing you to create an interior in which you can breathe easily and freely!
