They used an enormous sleek, low-profile hinged opening skylight for easy access to the rooftop of this Amsterdam loft.
Glazing Vision was commissioned to manufacture the rooflight for the project, a electrical hinged Skydoor offering not only roof top access, but also ventilation and light in the loft. In order to have enough room to walk the stairs comfortably, we made t... More
