Example A
Loft conversion with side + rear dormer
The house shown is semi-detached, yet this design works exactly the same for end-of-terrace houses. Money-saving tip: one option with this design - in order to keep building costs down - is to omit the rear dormer and only have the side dormer (side dormers are usually needed for staircase access to the new loft rooms). See EXAMPLE E for this type of design.
Example B
Loft conversion with rear dormer
Mid-terraced houses are particularly suited to loft conversions. They make wonderful, spacious rooms. Example B made excellent additional living space for the homeowners.
Example C
Loft conversion with lowered first-floor ceilings to facilitate side + rear dormers
This drawing exemplifies why not only homeowners but also loft conversion builders trust 3rd Storey Technical Drawings with their design drawings. Example C shows one of the more complex loft conversion principles; the design required the existing first-floor ceilings to be lowered to make the loft conversion feasible. The design was complex and the appointed builder needed the technical drawings to be inch-perfect. Our drawings for this project were commended by the approved Building Control Surveyor responsible for the building project.
Example D
Loft conversion with rear dormer
Example E
Loft conversion with side dormer
Loft conversions with only Velux roof windows are not a popular as they once were, yet make beautiful loft rooms. Example E shows a simple design which provided a stunning master bedroom with en-suite.
Example F
Loft conversion with rear dormer (including en-suite)
Example G
Loft conversion with rear dormer (including en-suite)
Example H
Loft conversion with side and rear dormers
Example I
Loft conversion with hip-to-gable and rear dormer (including en-suite)
Example J
Loft conversion with rear dormer
