Project Overview

This L-shaped dormer loft conversion in Walthamstow transformed a standard Victorian terraced house attic into a luxurious master bedroom suite. The full rear dormer and side dormer created 28sqm of usable floor space with excellent head height throughout. The layout includes a king-size bedroom area with two Velux windows and a glass Juliet balcony offering views over the rear garden, plus a fully tiled en-suite bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower. A bespoke oak staircase was designed to connect the new floor without compromising the existing second-floor landing space. The project was completed under permitted development rights, requiring no formal planning application.

Challenges

  • Maximising floor area while maintaining the roofline from the street
  • Installing a new staircase without losing existing bedroom space
  • Achieving adequate structural support on a Victorian timber frame
  • Running plumbing and drainage for the new en-suite to the existing stack

Solutions

  • L-shaped dormer design maximising volume within PD rights
  • Custom space-saving staircase designed by our in-house architect
  • Steel beam reinforcement of existing ceiling joists
  • Strategic en-suite placement directly above the existing bathroom
