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.

Storage in Roof.

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.

Working from home is convenient and provides great flexibility, however it also requires space. For this customer, who works from his unit situated in an inner Brisbane suburb, he was beginning to feel the squeeze. Trying to comfortably live uncluttered whilst sharing his living space with his home office was proving frustrating, therefore this customer began researching home storage solutions and ways to gain extra space within his home.
