The brief

The family needed one more bedroom and did not want to move. The attic had headroom in the middle but no stair, no light and no insulation.

How we built it

We reinforced the floor, framed a dormer to add headroom and light, and built a new stair above the existing one. Insulation and ventilation were designed so the room stays comfortable in summer.

At handover

The conversion passed its final inspection on the first visit. The rest of the house stayed in use throughout the job.
