. CORRIDOR Vestibules and corridors fulfill important functions as connecting paths in a building. For these reasons, attention should also be paid to these areas for design reasons. Often, however, it is not possible to install windows in anterooms or corridors. By daylight spots, windowless, otherwise dark rooms are naturally exposed. This extends the possibilities of use and increases the visibility and thus the security of the home. Only well-lit corridors create visibility and thus safety against accidents in this area. In addition, you reduce the otherwise permanently necessary use of artificial light. 7

. BATHROOM In the bathroom, the day begins with a refreshing shower to wake up, make-up or shave. Daylight activates the internal clock and helps you to wake up! The bathroom is exposed to high humidity, so regular ventilation is essential to ensure good ventilation and prevent mold. With remote-controlled flat-roof windows, ventilation times can be automatically programmed to allow the humid air to escape. The right sun protection ensures privacy and sets decorative accents. Natural lightning in the bathroom raises the mood early in the morning! If the flat-roof window is positioned directly above the washing area, the daylight streams across the wall into the interior and lets the entire room shine. 8

. CORRIDOR Vestibules and corridors fulfill important functions as a reception area and connecting routes. For these reasons, attention should also be paid to these areas for design reasons. Using roof windows or flat-roof windows, use the for efficient and natural ventilation - especially on hot summer days. Because warm air naturally rises and can be ventilated through roof windows ideally in the night hours. With remote-controlled roof windows or flat-roof windows, automatic ventilation times can be programmed - to ensure an adequate room temperature in summer. Only well-lit corridors provide exposure to safety against accidents in this area and reduce the otherwise permanently required use of artificial light. 9

THE FIVE STEPS "Flora Park" is a closed residential complex of 14 multi story buildings in Sofia, Bulgaria. A few conceptual decisions make the facility attractive for acquirers even in hard times for the building industry (2012): 1. Closed and secured complex with maintenance of the common areas. 2. All the vehicles are sent underground directly from the site entrance. 3. Plenty of green areas with a lot of playgrounds where kids could play outside safe. 4. Ground floor flats are equipped with a garden. 5. Last floors are equipped with terraces and gorgeous roof windows combinations for premium supply of daylight, fresh air and a view to the nearby mountain. Ground floor and last floor flats were sold first despite higher cost per square meter. Flora Park Residential Complex, Sofia, Bulgaria arch. Anna Kuzmanova

MORE LIVABLE VOLUME More livable volume means more air and oxygen. (The additional volume to be heated is compensated with more solar gain through direct sunshine thanks to roof windows.) Bigger room height could become additional floor area or simply a loft bed. 16 31 AUGUST, 2017
