When Judith and her partner decided to move out of their apartment into a family house, they were looking for a place they could turn into a forever home. By installing a 2-in-1 VELUX window, they were able to transform their dark loft into a multifunctional room which they use as a home office, exercise station and a space to enjoy quality time with their son.
Moving into a house in the small Dutch town of Soest three years ago meant going through a lot of work and renovations for the young family. Judith and her partner wanted to make sure they had as much light as possible in their new living and working space, which is why they decided on installing the 2-in-1 VELUX windows. “We chose the 2-in-1 windows because it has one frame and we really wanted to make the space look bigger”, Judith explains. Aside from the daylight and sunrise views they’re able to enjoy from their home, Judith’s favourite feature is the VELUX ACTIVE app connected to the windows’ built-in sensors which notifies them about oxygen levels in the room.
If the oxygen levels drop, the window automatically opens to let the fresh air in, and we get a notification that the room is starting to ventilate. It’s a really cool gadget.
“I do feel different. Think about a room where it’s very dark and you are sitting there all day. Now it’s bright, it’s airy, you can look outside, so it feels much better.” Watch Judith talk about her Transforming Spaces journey below:
