This attic guest suite and office includes a wet bar with sink and beverage fridge, black cabinets, and a stone backsplash. Blue plaid rugs, wood shelving, and modern lighting complete the flexible space.

Utilized unfinished attic space to create a teenage girl's retreat, which could later be converted into a 2nd Master. Beautiful vaulted ceilings, a crystal chandelier and dormer window make this a dreamy space for sleep and relaxation.

Originally unfinished, uninsulted attic space above a spacious two-car garage, this space was perfect for converting into a home office for a work-at-home client. Although the space has its own entrance from the driveway and the garage below, the goal of the project was to seamlessly match all of the finishings to the rest of the house, built in 2009.

R.B. Schwarz gutted the space, added HVAC, wired the electrical, built bookshelves from oak, and finished this attic space. Their craftsman hand cut each piece of wood for the rails on site. The mission oak makes quite a statement piece. Homeowner Jeff Scott designed the room and the mission-style rails for the stairwell. The family uses the extra space for a craft room. A Navajo rug (a special find from their travels) decorates the wall of the stairwell.

Existing attic space gutted. Owner required office, bedroom with closet and full bathroom. Space is flooded with natural light via adjustable skylights. Bathroom receives natural light from glass block at high level. Office has built in desk, filing cabinets plus shelving recessed into wall. Room for queen size bed and drawers. Opened up walls to give feeling of additional space. Attic access via staircase from second floor. .

The floor beneath the street level has been built as a child’s retreat of sorts. There are four bedrooms linked in pairs by Jack and Jill bathrooms. This, plus twin study centers, an open play room and a small lounge—strategically tucked away from study and play areas—that’s rigged for gaming and TV-watching. On this floor, the vibe is light and airy, with white walls against light hued floors of engineered oak. “They have a great combination of tones, and are more durable than actual wood,” notes Lazar. There is also plenty of custom cabinetry, from desks and drawers to multiple-sized nooks for stowing away toys and books. Though positioned as a children’s floor, it doesn’t have to be. The floor, and the entire house, has been designed with enough blank slate so it can be stylistically recast as an owner sees fit. “Everything is very subtle very clean,” says Lazar. “Anyone can come in and use the space any way they choose.” Thoughtfully designed by Steve Lazar design+build by South Swell. designbuildbysouthswell.com Photography by Joel Silva.

Family room - rustic loft-style family room idea in Atlanta with beige walls

Originally built in the 1950's this Cape Cod style home needed a space more useful in the upstairs attic. Our mission was to create an appealing master bathroom from an unfinished attic space that is 6’ x 14’ long. The newly renovated bathroom features Dura Supreme cabinetry, double bowl sink, back lit LED mirrors, a built-in linen cabinet, and additional storage for laundry baskets. The angled ceiling draws your eye down to the glass shower creating a seamlessly transition into the shower area. With the shower not having a threshold it creates visual interest exposing the window and the floor and wall tile. Not only is the space now functional for the homeowners but it offers a classic yet sophisticated design style!! Interested in speaking with a Capozzi designer today?

Situated in the heart of the Lake Claire neighborhood in Atlanta, GA, this renovation included a full kitchen remodel, the addition of a screened porch, renovation of the primary and children’s jack ‘n jill bath, and the buildout of third-floor attic space to incorporate an entertainment room, a podcast studio, and a full bathroom. The overall objective was to give the clients more living space, while updating the existing kitchen and bathrooms to make them more suitable for their modern lifestyle.

This luxurious downtown loft in historic Macon, GA was designed from the ground up by Carrie Robinson with Robinson Home. The loft began as an empty attic space above a historic restaurant and was transformed by Carrie over the course of 2 years. The main living area is modern, but very approachable and comfortable with ample room for entertaining.
