Challenge
Use a dormer loft extension to transform a dark Victorian home into a light-filled, spacious sanctuary, adding comfort and value to the home.
Approach
Like many Victorian houses, this home was built with a two-storey section sticking out into the garden, technically known as an outrigger. So, we proposed adding an L-shaped dormer conversion, with one dormer to be built on the rear roof and the other on the main roof, giving it an instantly recognisable L-shape. This approach is a clever way to maximise space, especially for a mid-terrace property like this one.
Solution
The project was a roaring success, with the property's value increasing and the residents' lives improving greatly due to the additional space. With an entirely new level made possible by our involvement from the planning permission stage to the construction stage, we demonstrated that loft conversions don’t have to be pokey, dark and lacking in style, but can instead completely transform a home and in turn, transform lives.
