Attic Conversion To Home Office

Transforming Spaces: A New Home Office and Dormer Creation in North London

The team at Antonio Grano, believe that the most successful renovations unlock the hidden potential within a property. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with clients just north of London. They wanted to completely reimagine how they utilized their home. Their brief was clear: transform an under-used area into a substantial, multi-purpose space. This space would facilitate their home working requirements while also serving as a comfortable retreat.

The Structural Transformation

The key to unlocking this extra space was the installation of a new dormer window. As seen in the construction images, this process involved opening up the existing roof structure. We installed precise timber framing to support the new extension. By altering the roofline, we drastically increased the headroom and usable floor area. This structural change was essential for turning a cramped attic into a bright, spacious room. It now houses both a professional workspace and a relaxing lounge area.

A Modern Sanctuary

The finished interior highlights just how effective this conversion has been. The new room is flooded with natural light, creating an uplifting atmosphere perfect for daily work. I designed the layout to accommodate a sleek floating desk right under the window. This offers our clients a workspace with a view. Beyond the desk, the room is spacious enough to function as a lounge. There is ample room for sofas and soft furnishings. To make the space truly self-sufficient, we also integrated an additional bathroom. This ensures the upper floor is as functional as it is beautiful.

A Complete Exterior Overhaul

While the loft conversion was the centerpiece of this project, our work extended to a complete refresh of the property’s exterior. The clients required a holistic approach to the renovation. We undertook the replacement of all windows and external doors throughout the home. The new glazing improves energy efficiency and gives the house a sharp, modern aesthetic that matches the new dormer cladding.

To finish the transformation, we created a wonderful outdoor space. The result is a home that flows seamlessly from the new high-spec office upstairs to the beautifully landscaped gardens below. This perfectly meets the clients' needs for work, rest, and play.

The Importance of Design in Home Renovation

Design plays a crucial role in home renovation. It goes beyond aesthetics; it enhances functionality and comfort. A well-thought-out design can transform a space into a sanctuary. It can also increase the value of your property. I always emphasize the importance of creating spaces that reflect the client's lifestyle and needs.
