Foothill Ranch Loft Addition with Half Bath

Foothill Ranch, California
Orange County Loft Additions

High ceiling conversion over the living room in Foothill Ranch, California. We turned this space into a new open loft play room for the kids.

In many loft additions it is very practical to add an extra bathroom. Here we added a half bath for the kids. This was a very simple addition with open railing around the stairwell

This tract home in Foothill Ranch has a high vaulted ceiling. It is slightly lower than a two story home, but we managed to get the permit for this unique media room addition. It is an open loft addition (not enclosed) with the media components positioned on the low end of the room.

The new windows and rear door exit to a new deck addition which was built at the same time as the high ceiling conversion.

San Bernardino County Loft Additions

​To be a true loft master you need to have the skills to design and build new features into a high ceiling conversion. This loft addition in Chino Hills, California was designed to be a bedroom above. The new addition took place over the existing living room.

One special feature is a coffer ceiling, sometimes referred to as a tray ceiling. They come in different shapes and sizes. This particular high ceiling conversion received a beautiful octagon coffered ceiling with crown moulding within the inner perimeter.

We converted this high ceiling space into a new bedroom addition. Sometimes that's all you need is just one more room. Why buy a whole new house when you can turn your old fashioned high ceiling into a new room. The construction only takes 3 weeks and the railing added another week.

Let's avoid the boxed in look. This loft addition in Chino Hills has a new art wall arched niche feature with eyeball trim (awaiting artwork). This gave a nice recessed feature so that the bedroom wall was not towering over the entry.

Orange County Loft Addition - Coffer Ceiling

We talk a lot about what kind new space you gain when we convert your high ceiling into a new room. We convert vaulted and high volume ceilings into all types of different rooms; bedrooms, home offices, game rooms, home theaters, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and so much more. What about the room below the new space? Is it going to seem low, cramped, or crowded? Well, these are not the words that homeowners use to describe the space below the new addition.

We hear things like; Warm, normal, no more echo, looks like it was always suppose to be there. What helps even more is if you add a custom structural coffer ceiling. This really is the extra step that customizes the look of the room below you loft addition.

This high ceiling conversion in Dove Canyon, California received a bonus room addition above and a nice coffer ceiling (aka tray ceiling) in the room below. This project shows that we added a rope lighting feature hidden behind the crown moulding to really make the new ceiling pop.

We also added eye ball trim recessed lighting fixtures outside the perimeter of the coffer for a beautiful "art light" on a dimmer switch. When you add a room above you also have the opportunity the remodel the look and feel of the room below.

Converting a high ceiling can end up being just about any type of room you desire. A popular use for a new loft addition is not actually a loft at all, but a big bonus room for a second floor family room, TV media and game room. Take a peak into this conversion in Aliso Viejo. Above is a new bonus room that wraps around the stairwell. Below is a new nine foot ceiling with a coffer ceiling over the dining room.
