In partnership with Dixon Projects, Glazing Vision was thrilled to have worked on their latest city renovation and ongoing mission to open up urban living to city rooftops by using our box skylight as a roof deck access solution.
Roof decks and outdoor living spaces are a premium for urban inhabitants in New York City – especially in Striver’s Row. Unlike other NYC homes, properties in this famous row don’t have backyards, meaning that remodeling and extending into the available roof space is a must.
Enter the Glazing Vision fully operable Skybox.
Our innovative freestanding box skylight is a three-dimensional skylight. Our full glass surrounding floods the stairwell below with natural daylight whilst also offering easy, discreet rooftop access. Our sliding opening is controlled at the touch of a button, offering fully automated, straightforward access to the new roof deck.
Pre-approved by the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) and Department of Buildings (DOB) as a discreet roof access solution, choosing the Skybox to preserve this historic row roofline was a no brainer. With approvals and reduced permitting time, the project could be completed quickly, saving time and money.
Rooftop expansions are becoming a must for city homes in Manhattan as more and more properties are searching for creative ways to open up more living space.
We look forward to collaborating with Dixon Projects on more remodeling and renovation projects to open up the NYC skies.
