Linear Skylight & Ceiling Details

8/14/2015

 
Shell Detail
Skylights can have a dramatic impact on the interior of the building. Natural daylight provides interesting light and can reduce the need for other artificial types of lighting.  

A linear skylight requires integration with the structure. In this case roof joists were enclosed by and included into the ceiling design without adding any awkwardness.

The key features of the detail are the:
  • structural integration
  • roof flashing and counter-flashing
  • ceiling configuration and detailing to show off the skylight
  • identifying other components of the skylight system
