Background:

At Absolute Lofts, we recently completed a stunning full width dormer loft conversion in Barnes, South West London, for a client who works as a commercial airline pilot. With a growing family and a desire to maximise their home’s potential, our client sought to extend upwards and unlock the unused loft space in their traditional terraced property.

Understanding the Client’s Vision

Our client’s profession means he is often away for extended periods, so creating a calm and functional space for his family was a top priority. He wanted a long-term solution that would not only enhance day-to-day living but also add significant value to the property — especially important should the family need to relocate in future due to career demands.

The Loft Conversion Solution

We recommended a full width dormer loft conversion, which is particularly suited to homes in Barnes with sloping rear roofs and limited headroom. This type of conversion allowed us to maximise internal floor space and ceiling height, making room for two generous bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

The result was a light-filled, versatile upper floor that provides both functionality and comfort, perfect for a growing family’s needs, whether used as children’s bedrooms, a guest room, or a home office when needed.
