Meyer and Elements of Classical Architecture

Antiquity Revolutionizes Organic Illumination

The use of clerestory glazing at the Rockbrook Residence provides a technique for provision for rare kinds of light. Located on the north and east sides, the clerestory windows provide for high-level lighting. Meyer’s implementation of clerestory glazing allows for a natural version of his early forms of cove lighting. This synthesis of organic and man-made forms of lighting provides the interiors of the residence with a myriad of rich daylighting conditions.
