Choosing an Architect to Design your Loft.
Make sure the architect that either you or your company are using only design loft conversions. Some may say they do however you may be there first client so ask to see an example or a set of plans prior to giving them the go ahead. Once you’ve seen a previous customer or a set of plans you can make your own mind up deciding weather the designs they have drawn previously will be good enough for your property.
The reason it’s VITAL to use a loft Architect and not a general Architect or “friend of a friend” is because they don’t know everything there is to know about lofts. The design is completely different compared to an extension or conservatory architect. A couple of reasons are, making the stairs work so it feels completely in keeping with the rest of the house is a major part of the design, maximising the bedroom space to its full potential is again very important and the way the room works i.e. where the beds going to go, where you can walk and can you walk around the bed.
