A HIP TO GABLE ROOF CONVERSION WITH DORMER

CREATING NEW ATTIC BEDROOMS IN ROOF SPACE

This project was to realise the potential of utilising the ‘full’  attic area for 2 spacious bedrooms with a large bathroom. 

The initial layout was a typical bungalow with ground floor living rooms, kitchen and bedrooms with a stair up to a converted attic space which formed a small bedroom with an ensuite. This formed within the existing hipped roof. 

The proposed design was to form a hip to gable roof conversion. This gives full room height on the new upper floor from side to side of the property. 

A near full width dormer across the rear of the roof gives full height to the 2 proposed new bedrooms. The existing stair was retained which opened onto a large landing which gives access to the bedrooms and bathroom doors. There was an option to re-site the stairs in a more central position so as to make the new bedrooms of a similar width. The client decided against this due to the additional cost. 

The external finishes to the new gable walls and dormer walls where of a render to match the existing ground floor walls. 

All windows and roof-lights where specified as high value double glazing in a slimline upvc frame. 

This project design opened up one of the ground floor bedrooms to a living area by forming large 1st floor bedrooms in a new ‘full’ 1st floor.
