This empty attic had a lot going for it – high ceilings, walk-up stair, and several dormer windows already installed – but it was totally unfinished. The homeowner had big ideas for the space: add a guest bedroom and bathroom, and a large multi-purpose space that could function as both a study and a hang-out space. We rearranged the stair treads for an easier ascent, added dormers for light and symmetry, and utilized some serious ingenuity to create a layout that checked all the boxes. The study has everything you could dream of in a secret library: mahogany bookshelf-lined walls, built-in bar, comfy leather armchairs, and a billiard table to match the deep red tone of the walls. This attic, once empty, has become an oasis – a hidden jewel nestled at the top of the house.
