About the project

A loft conversion with a single-storey rear and side extension on a site with very limited space, designed to make the most of every square metre.

The main challenge was designing a cranked beam to suit the roof profile. A beam was also provided to support the chimney stack.

The foundations were checked against NHBC requirements for building near trees, and a beam and block ground floor was adopted.

Key structural elements

  • Chimney support
  • Cranked beams
  • Beam over bi-folding door
