Even small alterations can benefit from our approach, especially if the building has been previously extended. A layout can become disorganised and disjointed, but can, with some careful analysis often reveal that a minor intervention can free up space or improve the way the house works. For instance the house on the left was dramatically improved by the addition of a front entrance; hitherto the house had been entered from the rear.
Loft conversions deserve very careful treatment if they are to give maximum benefit. Many aspects of the design need to be considered individually and together to make the most of the space. Ladder stairs can be used to give access to one room to a loft space. They take up only a fraction of the floor space of a traditional staircase, they have an elegant appearance, and they can be a neat solution to a roof space conversion.
