What we loved about this project:

This was an interesting project in terms of the effect of gaining more space. It has also been good to build this loft in a low-carbon way, using carbon sequestering materials such as wood fibre and cork and we had an airtightness strategy to tackle the remaining heat loss. We used the most up-to-date building techniques in eco-design, and this loft has been reported to perform so well that owners did not need to put their heating on in their new loft room for most of the winter.

 

Our favourite design material for this job:

The internal balcony that overlooks the hall.
