Loft Conversions Manchester – Loft Design  Stories Part 2

In my previous post on loft conversion design stories, I looked at a loft conversion that had not taken full advantage of the space available. It was a terrace house.

Next I am going to look at another terrace house of a similar nature, where the loft conversion was designed in a different way.

Our company did not carry out the original loft conversions on either house. They do however provide good examples of one type of loft conversion design and how the space is best utilised.

Loft Conversion – Maximise The Space

Let’s look now at how the space in this second example loft conversion was utilised.  To create a new room, with good layout and use of existing features sometimes takes some thought.

Entrance Stairs Positioning

You will see that the stairs come into the loft from a completely different position from the first example.  This means that the available space for the floor area is much larger.  It is also a lot more practicable.

Increasing The Value Of Your Home

Ultimately that translates into more added value  to this property. As home owners, you want to invest in your home with the best possible results.

This house and the house I referred to in my first post are next door to each other. The available space to work with was exactly the same.  The end result is however totally different.

The positioning of the stairs was crucial in maximising the space available in this loft conversion.

The quality of your home will be so much better with more space.

Planning Your Space Efficiently

In both houses, space had to be taken from an existing bedroom downstairs.  In the first example, the stairs came up the centre of the loft space. The space was taken from an internal dividing wall.

If you look at the third photo below, the position of the door shows approximately the position of where the stairs were built in the first loft conversion example. The stairs went up and to the right from the position of that door.

In this example, the space is taken from the dividing wall at the end of the house.  This was the best method of increasing the space. The picture below shows it more clearly.

Loft Conversions – End Results

In both examples, roughly the same amount of space was taken from the downstairs room to make the loft entrance stairs. The end result was however completely different.

I hope this helps to show how designing and planning your loft conversion properly can have a major impact on the finished result.
