Loft conversions in London
Dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions, from the first assessment of head height to Building Regulations approval.
Dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions, from the first assessment of head height to Building Regulations approval.
A loft conversion brings the roof space of a house into use, adding a floor of accommodation without extending into the garden.
The studio assesses head height, stair position and structure before any form is drawn. Rear dormer, mansard, hip-to-gable and L-shaped options are tested against the house, the street and the planning context, so that the conversion is proportioned to the building rather than imposed upon it.
Many rear dormers fall within permitted development; mansards, hip-to-gable conversions and most proposals in conservation areas require planning permission. Every conversion must meet Building Regulations, including the fire safety requirements that apply when a third storey is added.
Structural design, fire strategy and Building Regulations approval are coordinated within a single package, and the studio administers the works through to completion.
