A Loft Conversion and Extension Project

If you are looking to add extra space to your home, a loft conversion and extension can be an excellent solution. Recently, Chief Architectural Ltd. had the opportunity to work on a project that involved adding a loft conversion and extension to a detached house in Portsmouth, UK. Here’s a brief overview of the project and how we approached it.

Designing the Loft Conversion

The loft conversion included a bedroom with an en-suite shower, a Juliet balcony, a rear elevation dormer, and a front elevation pitched roof dormer. Our team of professionals worked closely with the homeowners to design the new space to their specific requirements.

The bedroom with an en-suite shower was built to ensure optimal use of space while creating a comfortable and functional area. The Juliet balcony was designed to let in natural light and provide a stunning view of the garden. The rear elevation dormer was built to increase the floor area and create more headroom. Finally, the front elevation pitched roof dormer was designed to add a charming look to the property while providing more space inside.

Ensuring Health and Safety

During the construction of the loft conversion, our team ensured that all health and safety procedures were followed. We carried out regular inspections and made sure that the site was secure at all times. We also made sure that all work was carried out with minimal disruption to the homeowners.

Creating the Extension

The extension was designed to create an open-plan kitchen area by removing a wall, creating one large kitchen room. We also added aluminium bi-fold doors to open up the space and provide a seamless connection to the garden.

Our team of professionals designed the extension with the utmost care and attention to detail. We made sure that the design was in keeping with the existing style of the house and that the new space provided a practical and functional solution for the homeowners.

The aluminium bi-fold doors were designed to create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. They were carefully installed to ensure that they provided an unobstructed view of the garden and allowed natural light to flood into the room.

Ensuring Health and Safety

The extension was also built with the same high standards of health and safety in mind. We made sure that all work was carried out in compliance with relevant regulations, and we took every precaution to ensure that the construction site was secure at all times.

Delivering Successful Results

In conclusion, the loft conversion and extension project carried out by Chief Architectural Ltd. in Portsmouth was a great success. The new space created by the loft conversion provided the homeowners with a comfortable and functional area, while the extension added extra space to the property and created a stunning open-plan kitchen area. All work was carried out to the highest standards of health and safety, and the final result was a space that the homeowners were delighted with.

At Chief Architectural Ltd, we recently completed the architectural plans and structural calculations for a large detached house located in Southsea, Portsmouth. The client wanted an extension to the rear of the property to create a new kitchen and open plan layout, which required removing a wall to make it a spacious open plan kitchen dining room.

Our team of experienced architectural designers worked closely with the client to develop a design that met their specific needs while also adhering to all planning regulations. The extension will require planning permission, and we are providing guidance to the client to ensure that all planning requirements are met. Once planning permission is granted, the next step will be to obtain building regulations.

We conducted detailed structural calculations to ensure that the design meets all safety and structural requirements. As a responsible architectural firm, we take safety very seriously, and we use the latest technology to carry out these calculations to ensure that all our designs are safe and structurally sound. Our rigorous approach ensures that the client can have peace of mind, knowing that their project is in safe hands.

While the extension has not started yet, we are working closely with the client to find a local builder who can bring the project to life.

At Chief Architectural Ltd, we are thrilled to have recently completed a stunning loft conversion project in Portsmouth. The project involved designing a large bedroom with an en-suite shower room for a family who required an extra room. The loft conversion was designed under permitted development rules, making the process quicker and more cost-effective for our clients.

One of the key design features of this project was the gable wall construction, which was built to the side elevation to allow for the installation of a new staircase. This innovative solution enabled us to make the most of the available space, ensuring that the loft conversion was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

We carefully positioned the new staircase above the existing staircase to ensure a smooth flow of stairs. This attention to detail was crucial in ensuring that the loft conversion felt like a natural extension of the existing building and provided a seamless transition between floors.

The rear elevation of the loft conversion featured a flat roof dormer with a Juliet balcony, which provided a beautiful view of the garden. We also included a Velux window to the front of the room to bring in more natural light, creating a bright and welcoming space.

Throughout the project, we maintained regular communication with our clients and the local builder to ensure that the work was carried out to the highest standards. We provided support and guidance at every stage of the project, ensuring that it was completed on time and within budget.
