2005 Special Award Room Remodel
The homeowners wanted to
enlarge the living area of their home for their growing family. They
wanted a new child’s bedroom and a bath that would be shared with an
existing bedroom. They took advantage of the steeply pitched roof and
utilized all but about four feet of floor space at the rafter ends.
Carefully planned built-in cabinetry eliminated headroom issues. The
center of the attic space was close to 18 feet high. They capitalized on
that height by building a loft study/play area directly over the new
bedroom closet. Under a custom-built ship’s ladder leading to the loft
is a built-in activities desk. An adjoining dormer houses the new shared
bathroom. The shower incorporates a glass block window that allows light
without sacrificing privacy. The new bedroom, with its loft play area,
ship’s ladder and built-ins was a creative solution to the family’s need
for additional space.
