Vaulted Ceiling and Rooflight Run

The detail that decides whether a vaulted ceiling looks built or looks bodged: three rooflights set into the roof slope with plastered reveals cut square and true, a clean ridge line, and downlights set out on the flat to match the rooflight spacing rather than wherever the joists allowed.

It is a small photograph of an unglamorous thing — but reveals, ridge lines and downlight setting-out are exactly the details that separate a finished room from a converted loft space with a rooflight punched through it.
