The attic space was transformed from a cold storage area of 700 SF to usable space with closed mechanical room and 'stage' area for kids. Structural collar ties were wrapped and stained to match the rustic hand-scraped hardwood floors. LED uplighting on beams adds great daylight effects. Short hallways lead to the dormer windows, required to meet the daylight code for the space. An additional steel metal 'hatch' ships ladder in the floor as a second code-required egress is a fun alternate exit for the kids, dropping into a closet below. The main staircase entrance is concealed with a secret bookcase door. The door hardware is a concealed pivoting hinge that can withstand 700 pounds, and opens weightlessly. One Room at a Time, Inc.

Overview Dormer loft conversion. The Brief Our client wanted a master bedroom with lots of simple wardrobe space, a vanity area and bathroom. Our Solution We’ve enjoyed working on a loft or two over the years. In fact, we cut our teeth working with loft conversion company for many years – honing our understanding of the technical and spatial jigsaw of loft design. The aesthetic was for a crisp external treatment with feature glazing to bring in lots of light, use the view and avoid the ‘big ugly box’ syndrome that affects most loft design. We worked through several layout options before getting planning and building control in place for our client. An amazing parquet floor and well-placed bathroom furniture make this loft stand out, our client hopes to add a complementary ground floor extension in future to complete the overhaul of this 1930’s semi.

In this space the FROG (finished room over garage) was used to create a fun room where client could relax and read or watch a movie, but also for close friends to gather and hand out. Chris Smith http://chrisandcamiphotography.com
