Natural lighting can be a real plus even in the summer months. Master bathrooms and kitchens are the best locations for skylights and strategically placed mirrors can help carry the natural light across a room, hallway, master bedroom or bathroom. If searching for a home plan, be sure to choose plans with slightly higher ceiling and window transoms which combined with a deep overhang (like NDG1145) or covered porch (NDG139)can give you great indirect light.
