The Skylight Garden
My goal is to create an elegant & functional structure specifically for hanging, storing & enjoying plants on skylights.
The Current Market
These products consist mainly
of hangers that are used for DIY skylight plant hangers.
Although they work to an
extent, there is no easily
accessible way to maintain the plants or structure to the layout.
The Benefits of a Skylight Garden
The VELUX’s marketing goal to embody ourselves in nature (”Let Nature In”)
Create more reason for people to keep or install a newer Skylight
Create storage for plants in small confined places
Create beauty or a centerpiece in one's home
Inspire creativity and character in a home
Curb vs. Deck Skylights
Curb Analysis
Curb Skylights are most common
The Skylight is meant to sit on the curb like a shoe box
Less labor required if it needs to be replaced
Decreased energy efficiency because they are not insulated beyond the 1.5 thickness itself
Deck Analysis
Increased energy efficiency
More recent design, used for new construction and for installing them into older homes
The small “curb” is the skylight itself
Lower Profile = Better visual appeal
Deck Skylight Sizes
The design concept will be based off a deck skylight
Process of Installation and Mechanics
Enjoy your Skylight Garden!
