The luxury cottages in the serene landscape of Hookerswell, Tew, Oxfordshire, remain a testament to enduring quality ten years on from the completion of this transformative residential project. Neo Rooflights, crafted from 3mm mild steel with an atomised zinc protection layer and protective polyester powder coating, have stood the test of time, proving to be a wise and lasting investment.
The project unfolded within a grade II listed farmyard, and led to the opening of six holiday lets back in 2015. Spearheaded by the visionary team at Charlie Luxton Design, the journey to redefine these spaces was marked by a commitment to preserving the rustic charm of the barn-like structures, while infusing them with a touch of luxury.
A key element of the renovation project focused on restoring and completing the existing roof. The architect opted for standing seam zinc to blend the building’s historical roots with an industrial charm. Neo Rooflights were chosen to complement this aesthetic, seamlessly blending with the zinc roof covering externally and bathing the interiors in daylight, creating sunlit sanctuaries.
Selected for their frameless design and edge-to-edge glazing technology, the Neo Rooflights increase the visible space in the top-floor rooms. In a strategic move to ensure safety and regulatory compliance, Egress Neo Rooflights create essential fire escape routes, underscoring the brand’s commitment to both form and function.
Drawing inspiration from the structural ingenuity of skyscrapers, the Neo Rooflight exemplifies contemporary elegance by incorporating commercial-grade structural glazing that seamlessly integrates into the roofline, all the while delivering exceptional thermal performance that aligns with stringent building regulations. Sustainability is central to the project, with a focus on insulation, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, and a heating system powered by central wood pellet boilers. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of luxury and eco-consciousness.
The accolades acquired by Neo Rooflights extend far beyond their functionality, with renowned architect Charlie Luxton commending the precision engineering and superior build quality manifested in each rooflight. From the patented thermoliner to the designer stainless-steel handle, every component of Neo Rooflights exudes excellence, transcending mere functionality to emerge as a statement of design sophistication.
In an industry where performance metrics matter, Neo Rooflights set the gold standard with a whole unit U-Value of 1.4W/m²K, light transmittance of 71 per cent, a G-Value of 0.53, and an easy-clean coating that demonstrates The Rooflight Co’s attention to detail and commitment to optimising performance and quality. As evidenced by the pristine apartments in Tew, the exceptional results achieved through Neo Rooflights serve as a testament to the transformative power of premium building materials.
“Working with The Rooflight Company was a collaborative process where we created a bespoke surround detail on the rooflight to allow for a clean, crisp and minimal upstand in a standing seam zinc roof,” comments Charlie Luxton. “Being able to refine details with a manufacturer is always a great way to ensure a beautiful result.” Together, they refined the details to breathe life into the architect’s vision, creating synergy between innovation and design excellence.
Luxury accommodation at its finest warrants the finest rooflights, and Neo Rooflights by The Rooflight Co stand as a beacon of quality and functionality, perfectly bridging the gap between architectural vision and real-world implementation. A decade on, these rooflights continue to complement these high-end holiday lets, showcasing the premium engineering of Neo Rooflights by The Rooflight Co.
