Portfolio images showing before, during, and after images of a loft addition project. The homeowner thought the over-size entry was a waste of usable living spaces. He and his wife wanted more rooms for fun and comfort. They decided adding a loft to a high ceiling is the best way to go for them.
So our crew added a kid’s playroom loft in a vaulted ceiling in the entry way. And combined it with an existing hallway upstairs over the large entryway. This new enclosure offered the opportunity for adding a new living room / piano room in the newly converted entry way space. It turned out pretty nice. The client was very happy with it!
Loft Addition Project Case Study

Building a loft in a room with high ceilings. Below are before, during, and after images. Clicking on the small images will open them into full sizes photos.
Before
Entry way next to front door had large vaulted ceiling and lots of walking space. Client wanted to convert that walking space into another living room. So this is what we consider an internal room addition, AKA “adding in” instead of “adding on”. In the vaulted section there will be a loft addition, which is also “adding in” a room addition.
During
Construction was smooth and clean. We framed in a ceiling and made it seamless with the existing ceiling and walls. Client wanted a “stylish” look to his ceiling so we suggested a recessed portion with recessed lighting. They loved the idea so we were happy to oblige. Also, upstairs they wanted an open “airy” feeling so we went with a partial half wall.
They chose the colors and then our painting contractors did their thing. We were also able find a complimentary new carpet for the loft that went well with the existing carpet in the hallway and bedrooms. This gave it a distinct feel of a different room while still matching the overall color scheme. So it all looked fantastic together.
After
The recessed ceiling and lights helped to give a larger feeling to a now lower ceiling height. Obviously the vaulted ceiling was much higher but the finished project doesn’t feel small or confining. On the contrary it feels comfy, welcoming, and cozy. Upstairs is now very open and airy, meeting their request. The kids love their new loft playroom! And our clients are enjoying all the extra living space after their living room “add in” and loft addition.
