Do you want to renovate your attic? Let this idea inspire you. The owners of this family home wanted to make sensible use of the space under the roof. They asked architects in Brazil to turn the attic into a comfortable office.
Renovating an attic
The family home has a pitched roof, so there was enough room for a comfortable office/library. The architects wanted to expand the attic and transform it structurally. Two walls were generously glazed and skylights were installed. The glass facade now brings abundant light into the room. The roof was also insulated and underfloor heating was installed. The area was divided by function: the south side contains a closet, while the north side has a comfortable bathroom. The furnishings were kept spare: a floor-to-ceiling wooden wall shelf displays the book collection, while a small wooden desk and several chairs offer comfortable seating. Curtains visually separate the library from the bathroom.
