Planning

Get creative with materials

With the Planning Application now in hand, which is a major milestone in the design process, start planning different options for the flooring: carpets, wooden floors, and/or tiles. Is there an option to include glass balustrades to give that illusion of more light and what about fitted shelving above furniture as a space saving mechanism.  

Maximise functionality

You may also need to consider retaining existing attic space for long(er)-term storage. Providing provisioning to access this space and digging deep to even ask  if storage is the eventual end game are key considerations

Start Solid

Forming the backbone of this build was ensuring the structural integrity and the quality of insulation (thermally and acoustically) of the underlining joists were 100% before second phase. It’s common in attic conversions for over a certain age for standards not to match today’s building regulations – this was rectified from the day one.

Align your to-do checklist

Before instructing any construction or building teams it is crucial for plans to be agreed and signed-off as alterations post start date, will prove to be prohibitively expensive. Brickwork, preparation and deliveries must be top of your early stage checklist.

Create

ALL-IN-ONE SERVICES

With these key items in place you have the creative building blocks to start designing your space and providing your building team with no blockers. A living document which includes 3D visualisations, mood boards and potential materials (with measurement) is a good way of solidifying a vision.

The Process

The creative process differs for everyone but it is essential to grasp the concept of First-Fix and Second-Fix.

Step-by-step

Start creating your utopian space from day one by planning in your hot and cold water spurs, by ensuring your home office zone has sufficient electrical sockets and ensuring those principal pieces are delivered well in advance.
