Optimizing an apartment under the roofs
Under the roofs, the volumes are often atypical. Sloping walls, exposed beams, the missing light… It is then a matter of overcoming these drawbacks and transforming each element into a strong point. This housing from the 1970s had not undergone any changes. The owners asked interior designers to renovate it in a Scandinavian spirit.
Their intervention consisted of redistributing the spaces and arranging them by optimizing every detail.
The most difficult challenge to tackle? Staying within budget.
What mistakes to avoid when renovating a housing under the roofs? Not taking advantage of the ceiling height.
A piece of advice for optimizing the attic? Install roof windows to let in more light. This needs to be carefully dosed to avoid excess heat in summer.
Space saving. Custom designing furniture under slopes or hiding closets allows for gaining space.
