Building up can be the best way to maximise the space in a home and create new living areas. Lofts can be fantastic new spaces or you could look at rooftop expansions to literally add more floors. The latter is becoming more and more popular for creating larger homes and new apartments. If you are thinking about a project and want to work with the top architect London can offer, choose us.

What can you do with the space?

Some people avoid converting their loft space because of the odd shape or lack of height. However, there are ways to overcome almost any issue here. For example you can design the space to make the most of the unusual shape. With a little creativity and the right furnishings you can get the most from the room. This can give it a wonderful character.

If the loft lacks height you have options such as raising the roof or creating a gable. These can be more disruptive but they can make all the difference.

The great thing about a loft is you can be as creative as you want. If you need a new guest bedroom, you can put it here or move your master bedroom so it can take up the whole loft. If you are working from home permanently now, it could be good to have an office here at the top of the house where it is quieter.

There are lots of incredible projects you can use as inspiration for your loft project. What you should look at is how they use materials to give the space style and character. You can go with whatever you like here, from industrial to ultramodern or chic and comfortable.

One thing you should keep in mind is lighting. This is especially important in lofts that are an odd shape. The last thing you want to do is have dark, dingy corners. You should make sure you can get light into every part of the new space. One way to do this is to have large roof windows and skylights and to avoid having doors. If you keep the space open, use lighter colours, and choose more reflective materials you can light up the whole space.
