Prospect Bank Place, Edinburgh, Attic Conversion

A spacious master suite is created in this attic conversion, without compromising the number of rooms downstairs.

My client’s owned a 3 bedroom, one bathroom upper villa flat with attic storage space in Leith, Edinburgh.

The attic conversion forms a master suite with spacious bedroom, dressing area and en suite. The new stairs open onto the hall as required by the fire safety building regulations. An existing bedroom is slightly smaller to make room for the stair. This bedroom still works well with loads of storage space carefully designed below the stair.

This attic conversion created the master suite my clients dreamed of and plenty of room for guests in the new attic bedrooms. By losing one bedroom they gained two new bedrooms, a walk in robe and two en suites.

My clients owned a substantial four bedroom semi detached house with attic storage space in Liberton, Edinburgh. There was only one family bathroom on the upper floor and with their frequent guests, this was not enough! An en suite and walk in robe for the master bedroom and additional guest bedrooms were priorities.

One bedroom on the first floor was sacrificed to create a new stair and a fabulous en suite shower room and walk in robe. A further two bedrooms and en suite were created in the attic. The existing cupola was refurbished to form two roof lights in the attic bedrooms. A raised shelf in the second attic bedroom allows enough headroom on the stair below and maximises the space available in the bedroom.

“Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and responsive to our needs and ideas. She came up with some creative solutions to designing a staircase and ensuite bathroom in limited space in an attic conversion and delivered all she promised on time and within budget.”

Concept design for a flexible additional bedroom or living room with separate shower accessed off the hall via a compact stair with wardrobe below.

My client owns a 2 bedroom, one bathroom upper villa flat with attic storage space in Parkhead, Edinburgh.

This attic conversion forms an additional bedroom or living room with a separate shower room. The compact new stair case is accessed off the hall to meet the fire building regulations. The stair case has a wardrobe below it, so that the existing bedroom still works well.
