Raked ceiling + exposed rafters

A beautiful result when it is set out properly, because the opening has to sit within the rhythm of the timber. Setting out, framing and the junction between glass, lining and timber are what make it read as though it was always there.

How to recognise it

From the roof through to the finished ceiling.

Setting out within the existing timber rhythm
