From Conservatory to Kitchen: Transforming a 450-Year-Old Listed Home

When the Vollmer family set out to replace an ageing conservatory at their home in Little Wittenham, Oxfordshire, their ambition was to create a stunning new kitchen that would become the heart of her 450-year-old Grade II listed home.

They achieved this with Stella rooflights.

“It simply feels much bigger because of the amount of light coming into the room through the rooflights.”
