18 Luminous Homes With Interesting Skylights

16 of 18

Near the border between Austria and the Czech Republic, Prague-based architects Martina Buřičová and Štěpán Kubíček designed a fresh take on a classic Bohemian home. The residence is powered by solar panels and a geothermal heat pump that draws energy underground. Natural light enters the main living spaces through sloped skylights that are set flush against the symmetrical saddle roof.
