I am curious how the window to skylight detail is working considering that there seems to be zero slope on the skylight portion. I imagine that water would pool up there and create a potential leaking hazard and the water could stain the glass over time. Any input team Dezeen?

Look at the building in context to its surroundings, the first few images and i think it looks great in London

I’ve been to see this house and was even given a tour by the owner, and yes there were a few interior details which could have been better. but overall it is a really nice house which by all acounts met the clients requests. I think the most striking thing for me was the sence of privacy one enjoyed while being in the centre of london wwhile getting loads of natural light (a theme which is constant in Adjaye’s work) And there are ventilation panels big ones as well as small ones designed so they can’t be seen when closed.

This is true masterpiece in comparison to anything Mr (I haven’t even a degree in Architecture and have simply made a killing by hiding everything behind a sheet of white MDF) Pawson!
This is a modern, intelligent and sublime interpretation of the way we live today. Well done David.
