For our latest lookbook, we've gathered eight home interiors and exteriors that are crowned by circular openings and skylights.

While often used to draw daylight into interior spaces, openings may also provide unexpected visual connections between a home's spaces or ? as shown in a project below ? offer a structural frame through which trees can grow.
Breaking free from the often rectilinear layout of a home, circular openings can add a sense of intrigue to an interior, while also casting dramatic rounded shadows across a space.
Included among this list of projects is a holiday home in Tulum where a round window provides views of a swimming pool above and a series of homes in Puerto Escondido featuring circular openings cut into their slanted concrete roofs. This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring interiors that are stepped up by the addition of ladders, eclectic self-designed homes by architects and designers and living rooms characterised by bold statement rugs.
