The existing 1950’s ranch house was remodeled by this firm during a 4-year period commencing in 1997. Following the Phase I remodel and master bedroom loft addition, the property was sold to the present owners, a retired geologist and freelance artist. The geologist discovered the largest gas reserve in Wyoming, which he named ‘Jonah’. The new owners program included a guest bedroom suite and an office. The owners wanted the addition to express their informal lifestyle of entertaining small and large groups in a setting that would recall their worldly travels. The new 2 story, 1,475 SF guest house frames the courtyard and contains an upper level office loft and a main level guest bedroom, sitting room and bathroom suite. All rooms open to the courtyard or rear Zen garden. The centralized fire pit / water feature defines the courtyard while creating an axial alignment with the circular skylight in the guest house loft. At the time of Jonahs’ discovery, sunlight tracks through the skylight, directly into the center of the courtyard fire pit, giving the house a subliminal yet personal attachment to the present owners. Different types and textures of stone are used throughout the guest house to respond to the owner’s geological background. A rotating work-station, the courtyard ‘room’, a stainless steel Japanese soaking tub, the communal fire pit, and the juxtaposition of refined materials and textured stone reinforce the owner’s extensive travel and communal experiences.

Brandler London Door Brandler London was commissioned to design and construct this colossal door for the fabulous Siouxsie Dickens, a freelance fashion stylist who designed the amazing Photographic Location House, Kempshott Road. Made from reclaimed larch and painted black, these doors were designed to appear as two doors while actually being just one beast of a door. The painted surface still maintains the rich character of its 150 year old reclaimed material, with still visible dowel and nail holes, cracks, weathering and grain. The two different styles on each side of the door give additional depth and character. This door is fire-rated FD6 with smoke seals. Featured in Living Etc, March 2017.

“We were running out of space for the boys to play happily and we didn’t have any office space, we’re both freelancers so needed somewhere for the paperwork. Not to mention getting fed up of fighting for the bathroom!” …sound familiar? With two boys, aged 9 and 8 outgrowing their bedrooms and the family bathroom not fulfilling the families needs, it was decision time – move house or extend into the loft? The client loved the house, loved the neighbours and loved the location. The buying and selling cost just to leave the family home was calculated at £25,000. The cost uplift for a new 4 bedroom home to suit their growing needs approx £125,000. “One evening over dinner a friend of a friend described to us her amazing new loft – that’s where the recommendation came from. She was delighted with the space, and highly recommended Lawsons Lofts, as every workman along the way had been polite and hard-working, and the quality was second to none”. After an initial consultation with Nyk, the Lawsons Lofts design team provided a selection of layouts and room choices. The client decided they would like to maximise the loft space with a master bedroom and en suite. This would allow both children to move to larger, double bedrooms and the existing box bedroom transformed into a study, ideal for the professional couple. It was decided to go for a hip to gable construction with a dormer to the rear. The stairs designed to flow over the existing staircase, meaning no loss of space from any other rooms. The end result a stunning master bedroom with en suite, plus a wonderful new wardrobe space! No planning was necessary as it did not exceed its cubic capacity, therefore built under permitted development. The job fully completed within 8 weeks, with minimum disruption. Testimonial “Every step of the way was carried out by accomplished and considerate workmen, from the builders to the plasterer to the plumber to the chippy. The end result is more than we had ever hoped for, especially as we managed to get the maximum head room for the pitch of our roof, so even my 6’3 husband is very comfortable up there! The loft space has transformed our house. We now have almost our own flat at the top of the stairs (complete with en suite, sofa, telly and coffee machine!), while the boys have a big double room each, and the box room is an excellent study. All in all, the whole project took eight weeks, from taking the roof off to laying the carpets. We highly recommend Lawsons Lofts.- if you’re looking for excellent quality building work, with a family feel (Nyk was in touch with us every step of the way), and for a reasonable price, doing a loft conversion with Lawsons Lofts is the best way to go!”
