Skylight Well

One major item of interest for myself is natural light and ventilation. With a society so dependent on HVAC systems running all year round currently, it seems like the root of the problem is lack of design for natural ventilation and daylight. I really wanted to be able to get air to circulate thru the house so I thought why not take the hallways dimensions 'which almost always lands in the center of a house' and run the walls and ceiling all the way up to the roof deck. Elisha was pretty skeptical but I got a very hesitant okay from her and went to work. I now have a framed/insulated/ drywalled attic space 34'x5.5' with new lights, and I cant wait until I can afford some venting skylights for that space. This will allow less need for electric lighting most days and a high space to create natural uplift for air to circulate from the exterior and out the top of the skylight well.
