Let the Light flood in

Let the Light flood in

Just like plants, we need light to live. It’s as essential for our well being as air and water, without it, we’ll wilt and die.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the onset of autumn this month signals shorter days and gloomy grey skies, with a sinking mood to match.

With many of us leaving home for work in the dark and returning after dusk, then being housebound during increasingly rainy days, it’s difficult to get the light we need to stay happy and healthy throughout the British winter. But bringing light into your life – and your home – is easier than it’s ever been. For decades European homes have been designed with habitable glass areas that become essential and comfortable living spaces throughout the year. Traditionally, glazed extensions in this country have been rigid in design and format and un-welcoming in the winter. Until now…

Apropos glass structures create light and airy spaces in even the most awkward areas to make the best of your home environment. These beautiful glass sculptures work in any setting - new or historic, urban or rural. They are designed and made especially for the home and the people living in it. For example, Apropos’ expertise in working with glass and aluminium means that fluid extensions can create a seamless connection between living space and garden. The design possibilities are endless, incorporating floor to ceiling glass doors, glass roofs and naturally lit passageways; gone are the days of the glass box stuck on an outside wall. These are spaces homeowners can work in, play in, cook in and chat in; all in complete comfort, with the beauty of sky views and life-giving light. With Apropos extensions and buildings, the choice is only as limited as your imagination.
