Light from the side

A side return is a narrow strip of leftover space. Filled in, it let the kitchen widen and gave daylight a route through the middle of the house.

Black steel screens carry the daylight from the back of the house to the front door.

Steel and glass

The same steel-framed screen is used from room to room, so you can see one end of the ground floor from the other.
