Attic Renovation Project
Objective: To transform a modest attic room into a bedroom/study. Client required a wardrobe, built-in drawer units, study desk, vanity table and push-to-open with soft close mechanism. My ideas include pull-out/put-away desk, angled wardrobe, recessed shelf and vertical grain finishing detail.
Stage 1: Discussions with client to ascertain needs, measurements and sketch ideas. Presented various ideas to the client and agreed on a concept.
Stage 2: Transforming sketches to accurate line drawings and CAD designs.
Stage 3: Creating prototypes of built-in drawers and plan project management for timeline and materials. Client requested birch ply.
Stage 4: Demo day! Dismantling interior of attic space.
Stage 5: Building off-site - due to limited space in the property and surrounding area, drawers, boxes, wardrobe, make-up desk build is made off-site in workshop.
Stage 6: Delivery to site and installation.
Stage 7: Oak flooring installed, rebuilding steps, skirting, cladding.
Stage 8: Lighting.
Stage 9: Final touches and final check with client.
Boot Room Project
Objective: Transform downstairs bathroom into toilet and storage area. This involved removal of bath, toilet, basin; and designing built-in storage. Client requested sleek doors with rebate handles. All moisture resistant, painted in gloss white with airless sprayer to provide a consistent finish.
Room one: Initially housing a toilet and basin, this was removed to create space for floor-to-ceiling storage unit, including bespoke arrangements for odd-sized objects such as skateboards, golf clubs, shoes and cleaning supplies.
Room two: Replaced bath and existing setup with wall-hung toilet and basin.
