Loft Conversion in Kingston Close, Shoreham, West Sussex

“Best set of plans and working drawings ever! Being a builder and working from plans very often I can honestly say the ones Darryl has produced for us are the best, they are clear, precise and full of detail, we will always use him from now on. We had quite a tricky project to get through planning and Darryl battled away making countless amendments until the planners finally gave in. Darryl is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and professional and I cannot recommend him enough.”

01. The Brief

Our mission was to design a cost-effective family home using timber as the primary construction material. The proposed structure was timber-framed, offering not only environmental benefits but also cost savings and efficient build times.

The exterior was finished with clean render cladding, chosen for its contemporary look and added insulation. This design approach brought together affordability, sustainability and modern style, resulting in a warm, energy-efficient home that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or practicality.

The brief also included:

A full home renovation
Three generously-sized bedrooms
A loft extension with an en-suite bathroom
A side extension to create a bright open-plan living area
Complete refurbishment of the existing property
A focus on space, style and comfort throughout

02. Challenges & Considerations

A key challenge was creating a loft conversion with a low-pitched roof that complied with building regulations while still feeling open and spacious. To achieve this, we worked closely with a Structural Engineer to reduce the thickness of the floor and roof construction, gaining the required head height.

By streamlining the construction and refining every detail, we were able to maximise natural light and usable space within the loft. The result is a bright, welcoming living area that not only meets regulations but exceeds expectations.

This project highlights our ability to work within structural constraints while still delivering considered, well-designed spaces. Our close collaboration and problem-solving approach ensured a smooth process from concept to completion.

03. The Outcome

The result is a beautifully transformed family home with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The standout feature is the open-plan living area, centred around sleek aluminium bi-fold doors that open directly onto a timber deck. This seamless connection between inside and out creates an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining.

Other highlights include:

A modern, minimalist design that feels polished without being clinical
Interiors filled with natural light thanks to large windows and open sightlines
A layout that encourages family connection while still offering room to unwind

This home is a clear reflection of what can be achieved with smart design, thoughtful materials and a client-focused approach. It’s now a bright, stylish, and practical space tailored perfectly for modern family life.
