It is the general consensus that with a loft conversion there is only one type of design, in reality though there are many types of designs for loft conversions. Oxford architects can provide you with a range of ideas and loft conversion designs.

One of the most simple loft conversions is known as a roof light conversion; this simply means installing windows into the roof to allow natural light into the room. It’s not likely that you will need planning permission however it’s always worth asking your Oxford architect as they can quickly find out for you and get it sorted if needed.

Another type of loft conversion is known as the Dormer conversion. This means that the ceiling height in your loft will be increased by extending the roof line. Your Oxford architecture company should investigate whether planning permission will be needed for this type of loft conversion.

“Hip to Gable” conversions mean transferring the side of a roof from a hipped side to a gable end; this gives much more space in the loft which means you will have a larger living area. Your Oxford architect will be able to produce some great ideas on how to take full advantage of your new space.

Although there are a variety of loft conversion designs available you should always consult with your Oxford architects before choosing a design. Each design will need the right infrastructure; your architecture Oxford consultant will know which design will be applicable for your home.

After you and your architect have discussed which design is right for you, you should then decide what type of room the conversion is going to be. Will it be a living area, bedroom or bathroom, make sure you choose the room that will give most benefit to you but also maximise the value of your property. Although loft conversion can be pricey; they can also add massive value to a home. Consult with you Oxford architect and Oxfordshire estate agents on what type of room will have the biggest impact on the value of your home.
