Loft Conversion | Shoreham

“Best set of plans and working drawings ever! Being a builder and working from plans very often I can honestly say the ones Darryl has produced for us are the best, they are clear, precise and full of detail, we will always use him from now on. We had quite a tricky project to get through planning and Darryl battled away making countless amendments until the planners finally gave in. Darryl is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and professional and I cannot recommend him enough.”

The Brief

Mission

Our mission is to design a cost-effective family home by primarily utilising timber as the core construction material. The proposed design will feature a timber-framed structure, which not only offers a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to construction but also lends itself to cost savings and efficient construction processes.

The exterior of the home will be adorned with a clean render cladding, providing a contemporary and polished appearance. This choice of cladding not only enhances the overall aesthetic of the property but also offers additional insulation and weather protection, further contributing to the home’s cost-efficiency.

By focusing on the strategic use of timber and render cladding, our design aims to strike the perfect balance between affordability, sustainability, and style. The result will be a modern, welcoming, and energy-efficient family home that stands the test of time without compromising on visual appeal or functionality.

Challenges

Our goal was to design a loft conversion with a low-pitched roof that adhered to building regulations while maximising space and natural light within the dwelling. To achieve this, we collaborated closely with a Structural Engineer, focusing on reducing the thickness of both the floor and roof in order to attain the necessary head height.

By streamlining the construction elements, we were able to create a spacious and comfortable loft conversion that not only complied with building regulations but also provided a bright and welcoming atmosphere for the occupants. This approach allowed us to make the most of the available space and ensure that the resulting living area was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Throughout the project, our attention to detail and commitment to working in partnership with the Structural Engineer resulted in a successful loft conversion that exceeded client expectations. The final design showcases our expertise in optimising space and light within the constraints of existing structures and regulations, ultimately delivering a solution that enhances the overall living experience within the home.
