Skylight

Skylight, formerly known as 'Stairwell', is a site-specific installation at Barker-Mill's own home in London. The house was commissioned from the architects MRJ Rundell Associates (London) and designed by the lead architect Mike Rundell. Skylight itself was conceived by Barker-Mill, but the architectural detailing and the technical and structural conception was by Michael Schranz, whose own experience made him ideally suited to the task. The fabrication of the work was the responsibility of Graham Welding Construction (PB) Ltd.
