Refurbishment Case Study A bespoke, beautifully restored loft The project commenced with a special loft design architect working closely with the clients to draw up plans for this beautifully restored loft. Throughout every stage of this project, detail was a key focus – from wall plans being laid out and walked through together by the client and Managing Directors right through to an expert mastic applicator presenting the client with over 20 colours to choose from and the bespoke finish of every join. Abstract angles are complemented by mixed materials in the interior design; the soft furnishing of the wall-mounted headboard working harmoniously with the sleek purple bathroom features. The Loft Room thrived off of the passion of the homeowners, who showed interest at each stage and helped ensure the project not only ran smoothly and on time, but also ensured their personality sparkled in every detail of their new loft. The bespoke, ‘independent hotel’ feel of this loft shines through in the flush marble shower and uniquely designed cupboards, which maximise storage space without disrupting the flow of the room. Bi-folding doors and the frameless glass balcony also create an uninterrupted view and flood the space with an abundance of natural light. Loft design is an art which often transcends that of a typical aesthetic refresh. Working with structural changes and abstract changes presents the opportunity for a beautiful conceptual design to transform a house into a home. A recent project undertaken by The Loft Room saw a dusty attic space converted into a spacious master bedroom with a stunning en suite. 62 Working with smaller spaces often leaves owners feeling they can’t do anything exciting, resulting in them resorting to white walls and plain furniture to grasp whatever additional space they can create. But with the right designer and builder, these smaller spaces can become a haven – demonstrated by a delighted client stating: “Particular attention was paid to tidiness, punctuality and they were accommodating of my very demanding husband who is a perfectionist. The result is a loft extension which has transformed our house, and I couldn’t be happier”. Externally, the luxury loft renovation matches its internal quality.
