Loft Conversions Cornwall

We designed and oversaw the delivery of a loft conversion to this former two bedroom cottage in Cannes, Cornwall into a three double bedroom house by converting the loft and incorporating an existing extension into two extra bedrooms and bathrooms. The conversion added 30% to the floor space of the property.
Two large gables were added at the rear of the house over the existing flat roof extension allowing creation of a new master bedroom with en suite bathroom and an additio...nal four-piece family bathroom. By relocating the stairs from the middle of the lounge to the side of the lounge the room was doubled in size.
Heating was installed through the whole property using heritage radiators and rewiring was undertaken throughout. In addition, a bespoke porch was built from reclaimed timbers, slate and stone.
The planning permission application, building regulations and structural calculations were carried out by A & K Architectural Services. In total this project took 6 months of preparation and then 6 months to build during which the family were resident at all times.

The property was a 1970’s block built bungalow with the garage already converted to a reception room, cloakroom and utility room with a small loft bedroom and shower room above accessed from the utility room..
The original brief was to convert the entire loft space of the bungalow. The roof height was less than 2 metres and from design beginnings, it was clear that less than 2.4 metres was not going to give a good quality conversion with reasonable headroom. The first recomme...

We were initially asked to redesign the existing part complete loft conversion, however the owners of this property had bought this as an investment and it was suggested that it would be better to remove the existing roof and rebuild it as a gable ended roof with 2 pitched roof dormers, internally this would allow for a master bedroom suite and a second good sized bedroom freeing up an existing downstairs room to be used as a dining room.
We carried out a full survey to ensur...e the design could be achieved and then a full planning application taking into account where the property is situated, the effect on neighbouring properties and the cornish design guide.
As of July 2013 planning permission has been granted and A & K Architectural Services are designing a cut roof for ease of build and a building regulation application.
