Luxury Holiday Cottages in Oxfordshire Showcase Durable Rooflights
Marking a Decade of Outstanding Achievements
Ten years on, a residential project transforming six luxury holiday cottages in Hookerswell, Tew, has endured as a testament to quality. The cottages, developed by Charlie Luxton Design, feature Neo Rooflights from The Rooflight Co., which have demonstrated resilience and continue to provide ample daylight.
Crafted from 3mm mild steel and featuring an atomized zinc protection layer and protective polyester powder coating, Neo Rooflights have withstood the test of time. These unique rooflights integrated seamlessly with the standing seam zinc roof, adding a touch of industrial charm while preserving the rustic character of the barn-like buildings.
The development unfolded within a grade II listed farmyard, with the project focus centering on restoring and completing the existing roof. The architect opted for standing seam zinc to blend historical roots with contemporary aesthetics. Neo Rooflights, recognized for their frameless design and edge-to-edge glazing, were chosen to complement this design, increasing visible space in the top-floor rooms.
Egress Neo Rooflights not only enhance the architectural appeal but serve as essential fire escape routes, emphasizing the brand's commitment to both form and function. The rooflights showcase commercial-grade structural glazing that seamlessly integrates into the roofline, delivering exceptional thermal performance that meets stringent building regulations.
Charlie Luxton Design's vision for the project extended beyond luxury accommodation to incorporate sustainable practices. Insulation, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, and a heating system powered by central wood pellet boilers were included in the project. Neo Rooflights' excellent thermal performance enhances the project's eco-consciousness.
Notable architect Charlie Luxton (2023) commended the precision engineering and superior build quality of Neo Rooflights, praising components such as the patented thermoliner and designer stainless-steel handle. Key features of Neo Rooflights include natural light, ventilation, durability, and energy efficiency.
The Neo Rooflight's exceptional results, as evidenced by the pristine apartments in Tew, validate its status as a gold standard in the rooflight industry. Achieving a whole unit U-Value of 1.4W/m2K, light transmittance of 71 percent, a G-Value of 0.53, and an easy-clean coating, Neo Rooflights illustrate The Rooflight Co's dedication to optimizing performance and quality.
Working with The Rooflight Company was a collaborative process, resulting in a bespoke surround detail for the rooflight to fit seamlessly into a standing seam zinc roof. Charlie Luxton Design's focused attention on refining details elevated the project's aesthetic appeal, demonstrating the synergy between architectural vision and real-world implementation.
