I'm looking to turn this turret into a Scandinavian-style office space. I'm struggling in particular on blinds/curtains, furniture and the light fitting. Thanks for any ideas!

Comments (8)Hi Catherine. Try speaking with Mike Neal - he solves all sorts of home office conversion issues. He does everything from conversions to building home office cabins from scratch, with a pile of timber and your ideas. His team turn up with a load of Oak and a few tools but at the end of the job you have a handcrafted staircase for example - pure genius! I am sure Mike could create a way of making the two sides match, even if it uses dot matrix printing to make them look identical from a distance. Let me know if you want his contact details.

Comments (6)Personally I think you need to check the planners view on making the existing loft bigger with either dormers or changing the hipped roof. If budget is an issue I suspect you won’t find moving the stairs to the loft cost effective. But you can likely make the landing lighter by addition a velux at the very top of the stairs. To gain additional accommodation the loft seems like the most cost effective solution but you could also extend over the sun terrace....See MoreBarn conversion H shape?
Comments (12)Hi, sorry I always get to these things at night. So to the West of the house is on the very border of the plot so we can't go that way or put windows on that side. We could go to the North on the courtyard area & had thought about this for maybe creating a new downstairs loo and access hallway to a "music room" in a half converted garage. To the East, by the current kitchen the plot is quite tight. It would be out of proportion to go too Far East there. By the time you get to the sitting room the house has really opened up. There is tons of space south - it's really the special views and light there we want to maximise... It's tricky we thought of a plan to move the stairs to the garage area and double heighting the garage - this would have allowed us to open the current living room on west to the galleried hall area to make a big long room and create an office/bedroom above the current garage. ] But my other half really liked having the stairs in the middle of the galleried hall in heart of the house. He's open to changing the stairs but doesn't want to move them unnecessarily. I feel like the natural place to put the annex is in the current kitchen/utility wing of the house. It's just how do we then remodel to create a big open plan kitchen/diner/living area that gives outside living vibe inside?? Also its a really bit plot the house is on, and bc it's a barn I feel like some big open space /height in the house would be really cool. We're open to ideas but just can't seem to figure out a layout that works. Can we do something to make the galleried hall a wee bit bigger as well? It's the wow factor of the house but needs something creative to optimise it. This is the house from above showing the front garden. Hedge to LHS of pic shows the west boundary- we can't go that way bc of neighbour. RHS of pic you can make out a fence to RHS of yellowy grass - that's our east boundary. as you follow it down it goes diagonally out to RHS/east. it's a bit tight near the RHS top of house where current utility is, but could maybe extend a bit off current kitchen/closer to main house to create annex in current kitchen bit? This next photo shows more of the back. Note to the LHS/west of this pic the neighbour's place is really close to our boundary wall. SO very grateful for any ideas, thank you!...See MoreGarage conversion on a link detached house
