Con Form Architects has converted a small London loft into a bright home office by inserting a glazed section with a large steel dormer window. The loft conversion has turned a difficult, low-ceilinged space into a bright workspace inside the house.The architecture studio, in an innovative move, took a large slice out of the back of the roof and infilled it with glazing, flooding the otherwise cramped attic space with light. A new dormer window has been wrapped in anthracite steel cladding and placed atop this new glass roof section.“The large opening facilitates an intriguing, tactile relationship with the existing prominent brick chimney and parapet, typically confined to the otherwise distant world of roofscapes,” said the studio.Continuing the existing stairwell, a compact folded steel staircase leads up to the new loft space, passing a small roof terrace accessible via a large rotating window.For the study, areas of the existing brick wall and chimney have been left exposed, and is accentuated by a horizontal oak datum and shelving spaces. White wooden elements and a whitewashed floor brings in light and spaciousness into the area. In addition, a stepped up floor level creates a small, low-ceilinged space underneath a skylight, and marks as a separator of the office space.Con Form Architects was established in 2017 by Ben Edgley and Eoin O’Leary. The practice has worked on several residential schemes in London. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
