Designer Profile - Sam MacAlister Continued

Lofts/ Attics

Firstly Sam has measured the space so that he can sketch to scale his design within the existing parameters of the space he has to work with. This is shown by the rough sketch plan showing access, the two bedrooms and the bathroom.

Note the use of a cavity slider door between bedroom 2 and bathroom to create an ensuite effect.

An opening skylight over the stair is indicated to ensure that access to the space is light and airy rather than through a concealed and dark stair.

This will help keep the space used rather than having to go up there as it will be inviting with its use of natural light rather than the forboding feel of artificial light to a stairwell.

Planning restrictions have stopped the use of additional gable so a simple and modern shed dormer is added complementing the older style by being unobtrusive and not trying to compete with the classic architecture.

Exterior sketch A shows the bedroom 2 and the bathroom and sketch B the balcony and bedroom 1.
