Kings Avenue.

This residential renovation project in Gedling, Nottingham, saw Architecture North Ltd appointed to design and deliver a carefully considered loft conversion and first-floor reconfiguration to enhance the functionality, value, and long-term flexibility of the client’s home.

The brief centred on the creation of a new master bedroom with en-suite within the unused loft space, offering the homeowners a private, elevated retreat while making full use of the property’s vertical potential. To achieve this, a rear-facing dormer was introduced, providing the additional floor area and head height required for a comfortable and fully functional bedroom suite. Generous windows within the dormer also help draw natural light deep into the new space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

To integrate the loft conversion seamlessly into the existing structure, significant reconfiguration of the first floor was undertaken. This included the careful introduction of a new staircase, which was designed to sit naturally within the circulation pattern of the home without compromising existing rooms. At the same time, the original separate bathroom and WC were combined to create a larger, more modern and efficient family bathroom, better suited to contemporary living and improved day-to-day usability.

From concept through to detailed design and technical coordination, Architecture North Ltd ensured the project met both practical needs and aesthetic aspirations. Every intervention was tailored to optimise space, improve internal flow, and deliver a high standard of finish throughout.
