FIRST FLOOR EXTENSION. OPTIONS

I get asked quite a lot to provide extra accommodation to the first floor. This is due to a number of reasons from, The family growing or the existing children want their own bedroom and space. What I have shown below is a typical new 3 bedroom house having a master bedroom with en suite, airing cupboard and separate bathroom. As you can see from the existing layout the roof is over the ground floor garage with Utility to the rear and the roof over sails the Living room, Hall and cloakroom.
 It is ideal to build up off the existing footprint and usually cost effective and cheaper. I have shown three options that could be utilised within the growing family. The existing landing window provides valuable lighting to the top of the stairs, so by providing a sun pipe this light can be introduced into the scheme for the well being of the family.
 By taking away the old external wall outer leaf the new bedroom are made 150mm to 200mm wider which make all the difference. Also the wall to the top of the stairs can also be removed and hand railing Incorporated to open up the landing and get that spacious feel about the new layout.
  The new layout is all up to the needs of each individual family and their personal requirement. I have shown 3 possible ways of introducing extra  family space but the possibilities are endless.
