Game room - mid-sized country open concept light wood floor and white floor game room idea in Austin with white walls, no fireplace, a plaster fireplace and no tv

This new two-stall garage with a studio and full bath above is built into a steep slope up-Island on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s side-gabled so that the primary roof slope follows the direction of the hillside slope and keeps the front elevation from appearing overly tall. Front and rear shed dormers add headroom to the second level living space which is reached by exterior stairs off a rear deck. Fieldstone planters and granite stairs climb the hill between the existing house and the new garage. photo by Katie Hutchison

It was important to the homeowner to keep the integrity of this 1948 home — adding headroom and windows to the rooms on the second floor without changing the charm and proportions of the cottage. The new design incorporates a tower in the master bedroom to add height and take advantage of the incredible view. The second floor is modernized, the floor plan is streamlined, more comfortable and gracious. This project was photographed by Andrea Hansen Interior finishes by Judith Rosenthal

In this Maxtrix space we combined a bunk bed + loft bed for a space saving way to sleep three! Unique “L” shape fits perfectly in bedroom corner. Staircase is safe and easy to climb, plus each step doubles as a storage drawer. High height = extra headroom between stacked beds and more clearance beneath the loft. www.maxtrix.com

The traditional facade of this Toronto home is preserved to maintain the neighbourhood style while the interior is modern. The original one-and-a-half storey house suffered from low headroom space and a small second floor. The roof was raised to convert it to a full two-storey house increasing the second floor area. The new second floor roof was set back from the front wall to retain the original facade of the house.

The Murphy Residence project is a 3,000 SF remodel of a 1950’s home in west Seattle. Remodel was done in two phrases. The first phase included lifting the main floor 19” to allow more headroom in the basement. The second phase included completely rebuilding the main floor and adding a second floor concealed in the attic space. Interiors include exposed roof structure and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS).

The top bunks are twin beds that fit with just enough head room under the sloped ceiling. The location of the bunk beds was carefully chosen to allow for headroom and access to an electrical panel behind the beds. Photo by Daniel Contelmo Jr.
