Attic Magic

'Attic magic’ is how Windust Architecture X Interiors describe this grand heritage house reimagining. The design and build capture a child’s imagination with a relaxed and contemporary roof space renovation atop a Melbourne period home. The project brief was to alter the existing attic roof structure to create two bedrooms with ensuites, walk-in robes and study areas – all whilst our client continued to live in the two levels below. Creating openings in the heritage stone façade to install replica steel windows, replacing the existing slate roof through the heart of winter, bespoke joinery that was expertly crafted to follow the intricate room shapes and a myriad of detailed woodworking features replicating and honouring existing detail of the home were all challenges successfully mastered. Working closely with the architect, APC Build’s craft and depth of knowledge in traditional building techniques were key to the success of bringing this unique and exciting project to life. Detailed function meets magical perfection.
