Our house was built 1903 and most of the upper flats along our road have already converted the loft into living space. Our attic is a huge space, basically mirroring the floorplan downstairs, brimming with potential. When we viewed our flat, I think we fell in love with the attic almost before anything else! Literally the week after we moved in last October (2013) we started interviewing architects to make plans for a loft conversion.
It's been a lengthy process, getting the drawings from the architects, then waiting for Council Planning Permission, then waiting for the building warrant application negotiations, then interviewing builders, then negotiating additional funds from our bank, but here is phase one of the construction. When it's all done, we'll put up befores and afters.

This is the livingroom door on the left.
The hallway wall *used* to be here. |

| This is the section of wall now separating the kitchen from the hall. |

It's getting dark outside in this picture, but from the entraceway, you can see all the way up to the rafters in the attic!
I can't tell you how much dust was all over the house when we got home on Wednesday night after they had knocked through this wall. |
