Poynts Works has completed construction of an L-shape loft conversion to an existing property in Camden.

The loft conversion accommodates a new family bathroom, shower room, and large bedroom with Juliette balcony.
New rooflights bring light down to the original Victorian staircase, and provide ventilation in the new accommodation.

Poynts Works has gained planning consent for a wrap-around rear extension to an existing property in Camden.

The footprint comprises of a full length side extension, plus an additional 1.5m rear extension. A large area of glazed roof and crittall screen brings in natural light and space to a new open plan kitchen /dining area.

Coordinating structural design for loft conversions

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”0|0px|54px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”27px|0|0|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.19.15″ border_radii=”on|2px|2px|2px|2px” border_color_all=”#000000″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.19.15″][et_pb_image src=”https://poyntsworks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Mansard-Sketch-25.03.2020.png” _builder_version=”3.19.15″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.15″ text_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”|25px||25px”]
Often with loft conversion we have to consider complex three dimensional forms.

Poynts Works uses 3D drawing software, so we can communicate with clients and other professional consultations.

Here is a recent example of an L-shape mansard loft conversion, which successfully received householder planning permission from Wandsworth Council in 2020.

The 2D roof plan below is a typical example of a Planning Drawing. However, the understanding of the internal space and structural form is so much greater when we can view the image in 3D, like the example above.

Open plan living is so often the goal in house renovation, and there are huge advantages in having a combined kitchen / dining / living space.

However, there are always options.

One of the key questions we often explore is how ‘open’ is open plan?

The project below is an example of how we work with clients to explore design options at the very start of a project, and establish the answers to these key questions.

Using sketch design to get your project started

At the beginning of a project, there are often multiple ideas that should be explored in order to identify the best way forward.

Poynts Works uses straight forward sketch designs at the initial stage of a project, to quickly and efficiently identify key moves and priorities in the project brief. Then we can focus on those as the project design progresses.
