How to light a town house in natural light, without doing any construction work ?

Émilie lives in a town house in Ménilmontant. This district of Paris is known for its relaxed and bohemian atmosphere. A piece of town that looks like a village on a hillside. The only shadow on the picture, the relief is hilly and the nearby presence of large buildings deprives Emilie of natural light. In the morning, the sun reverberates at home from a nearby building, but on grey days, her home remains dark

Discover how Emily brought daylight into her home without doing any construction work

A walk in Ménilmontant
  • Owner : Émilie
  • Type of accommodation : Maison de ville
  • City : Paris
  • Opening : Window
  • Room : Living room
  • Espaciel model installed : Window Reflector

Configuration and solutions considered

Emilie’s living room has a window overlooking a small garden facing the neighbouring building. This room is dark for 3 reasons: 

  • Its western orientation,
  • Buildings that prevent light from passing through,
  • The relief of the hill of Ménilmontant

Emilie’s discovered Espaciel on the internet. She completed the online questionnaire to make her choice on the most suitable model, the Window Reflector. Rather than doing major  construction work, which is often expensive and complex, it finds the Espaciel Reflector best suited to its  needs and at an affordable price.

After receiving and installing her order, Emilie quickly identified the times when the Espaciel Reflector works at home. This is mainly the case when the sky is cloudy, it is also the time when she needs it most. Émilie sets up her company and works from home. It is all the more important for her to feel good in her home. As mentioned in the previous testimony with Nicolas, natural lighting plays an important role. Involved in social and ecological issues, Émilie was quickly interested in the Espaciel offer. 

Results

Émilie visualizes a surprising natural gain in clarity that brings more joy to her main room. His living room is now bathed in light. As a result, she plans to continue working at home during the start-up phase of her  company. Like Emily, you may be concerned about the people across the street, the steep streets or the relief of a hill. Espaciel is the solution to illuminate dark interiors !
