Open main floor (part 2): Living room with vaulted ceiling and new skylights (Studio ALC)

August 04, 2024 in Interiors

Continuing this main floor remodel series, Studio ALC added skylights and opened up the ceiling to create a taller, vaulted ceiling. This allows natural light to stream in from both the existing bay window and the skylights. The home didn’t get much light before, but now it’s bright and open throughout the day.
