Room in the Sky puts the wow factor into loft conversions

This stunning loft conversion nearly didn't get built. The clients knew what they wanted, but finding a builder to undertake the ambitious project was hard work - the first two they asked to quote said it couldn't be done! Luckily the third builder they approached had a "can-do" attitude and the resulting conversion has a real wow factor.

The open-plan contemporary design houses an open plan bedroom, bathroom and living area with vaulted ceilings, giving the owners a calming sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life. The work included a large degree of bespoke work, such as specialist steelwork, glass paneling, mirrors and also a specially designed oak staircase. Another feature is the specially made round 'Chinese' window.

A project of this complexity required close cooperation between client, builder, architect and interior designer and builder Kevin Walker put everyone's ideas into practice to realize the dream loftspace.
