Atlite Sliding Skylight

Roof top access was required. The local council restriction was 900 mm above the roof line, however head + steps clearance needed was over 2000mm. The access to the roof top terrace could only be achieved with a sliding skylight. Our client searched for a solution within Australia and internationally but it was not until she met with the team of engineers at Atlite that this Australian made solution was found

The brief was to allow access to a roof top terrace that met with local council restrictions. The solution of the Atlite Sliding Skylight exceeded the brief. Originally the client wanted the staircase to lead to a door for access to the roof. However now she has a staircase leading to a skylight that seamlessly opens above your head as you ascend the stairs. The home now has roof access, a stunning skylight and abundant natural light
