Before and After Attic Conversion.

Converting roof space to rooms

What do you do when you need more space as a growing family, you don’t want to move, and a traditional extension is not practical due to various reasons such as land size or budget? Look Up!!! This was the exact story for these Mt Gravatt homeowners. Their children were getting older and they felt they were outgrowing the home that they loved. With their home being located on a small suburban block, they felt a traditional extension was an impractical option, not to mention…a little expensive. This is when they started researching alternative options to increase their living space and stumbled across Roof Space Renovators / Attic Group.

Having just purchased their new home, these homeowners were conducting some renovations of the home before they moved in. During the renovation process they quickly established that they were going to face the common ‘lack of storage’ issue many inner city suburb homeowners face. Following some research on storage ideas, they came across the ‘attic’ concept. Although not a new concept in Queensland, transforming the wasted roof space into a usable storage or even living area, is often not thought of and therefore a less likely considered renovation project. Further, it is also a common misconception that attic storage is not possible if the home has ducted air conditioning.

Attic Storage Room with Trusses

Job: To build a functional attic storage room around the trusses in the roof space of this home in Wynnum West.

Location: Wynnum West, Qld 4178

It is a common perception in Queensland that if a roof space is designed with trusses, that attic storage is not practical. Some even believe that attic storage is not possible for truss roofs. Thankfully, these perceptions are misguided and we are happy to report that there are plenty of attic storage rooms in roof spaces all over South East Queensland built in truss roofs, just like the one pictured here.

The photos of this attic ladder and basic storage area are of an installation we conducted about three years ago in a home located at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.
