Attic Addition

For this project, the existing attic was accessed by a full stair; such a great feature of a home. It is so much easier to store your seasonal decorations! However, once you stepped foot in the attic, the ceiling wasn't high enough to create a usable finished space. Occupants would bump their heads as they traveled up the stairs and the windows were only about 4ft off the ground. Not ideal for creating additional space for a growing family.


Working within the zoning regulations, we were able to adjust the roof pitch and add a shed dormer to create a more comfortable living space.



The scope of the project includes the following:


• Raze existing roof; Rebuild to allow for full use of the third floor

• Suite style design (Home office, Primary Suite, Guest Suite, etc.)

• Full bathroom with separate toilet room

• Wet room; including shower and soaking tub

• Walk-in closet



• Skylights to allow natural light

• Entire home resided for updated look
