'In the late 1980s I was practising in London's Hampstead Garden Suburb and had many clients who wanted to extend into their attics,' says Peter King. 'I noticed a recurring problem with getting access to light and ventilation, as the local Trust's strict planning guidelines meant modern roof windows and dormers would never be approved. The only option was a cast iron single-glazed rooflight based on the Victorian design which was prone to rusting and leaking. I spotted a gap in the market and set about designing a copy of the Victorian cast iron model which would meet modern standards using steel, double-glazing and a thermal lining.'
