/ Project Overview.
This 10-week long project at Buckthorne Road, SE4 involved a comprehensive box dormer conversion of a loft into a functional and elegant bedroom and bathroom. Carried out under permitted development regulations, the transformation was designed to infuse tailored and traditional elements into a contemporary setting.
/ Clients Requirements and Goals.
The essence of the client’s brief was to blend the old with the new. This included incorporating wood flooring, installing bespoke glazing, and designing a traditional bespoke shaker-style wardrobe—an approach that melded timeless charm with contemporary sensibilities.
/ Challenges and Solutions.
Our design and execution phase was punctuated by notable challenges:
Maximising Living Space within the Bedroom: The client preferred a larger living space in the rear of the loft, necessitating a clever fit for the bed area under the front's roof slope. With meticulous planning and skilled execution, our team successfully balanced these spatial constraints to deliver a harmonious layout that maximised usability and aesthetics.
Our design incorporated a traditional bespoke shaker-style wardrobe and wood flooring—paying homage to timeless elements, while the bespoke glazing added an airy, modern touch. These combinations perfectly encapsulate the artistry of melding tradition with present-day aesthetics.
/ Optimisation for Functionality and Usability.
Despite the spatial limitations, the loft at Buckthorne Road, SE4 was sculpted into a beautiful, spacious room oozing character and spaciousness. Every design element and feature was integrated seamlessly to reflect the client's vision of modernity wrapped in tradition.
