High Ceiling Conversion

A small open-to-below over the entry isn't the first thing people think of regarding a high ceiling conversion. Most of our clients approach us with this - "I have an enormous open-to-below above my living room, and I'm thinking of adding a new bedroom there for the kids."

However, let's not immediately discount this empty space. For these homeowners, that area provides an answer for their need of a dedicated work environment. 

A big reason we do these design videos isn't just to showcase our ideas, but it is also to clearly demonstrate how these changes will affect the look and feel of their home. This is even more important when dealing with such a small space. 

The primary concern for this kind of mini-loft is how comfortable it will be to stand or sit in there. This video shows that there is just enough space for a person to comfortably conduct Zoom calls in - the primary reason for this office addition. 

This remodel, while not grand, is still going to turn out absolutely incredible. When this renovation is all said and done, the family will notice the difference. We're sure the people on the other end of the call will notice too!

High Ceiling Conversion

Turning empty high ceilings into new rooms - that is what the loft addition experts here at CALOFT live for. This home's high ceiling is about to transform into something much more functional! 

That vacant lot above is going to be converted into a new open loft. This new space will serve as a secondary media room for the family. Located near the bedrooms upstairs, it provides a convenient gathering point for the family to enjoy their time together. Keeping the existing windows really ties this whole new space together, as it provides a nice overview of the whole neighborhood. 

Check out these wonderful transformations unfold through our new video series - TRULOFT Designs. Presented in amazing photorealism, these images are sure to not only wow our client but also other homeowners as well!

Not all high ceiling conversions have to be massive upgrades in terms of space. Case in point - this Carlsbad, CA home! 

While this home has a vaulted open-to-below space above the living room, the family did not have their eyes set on converting that space. Instead, their attention turned towards the entry. 

When considering a bedroom expansion, building over the entryway isn't the most obvious solution. In this case, not only is it possible, but is the best compromise - they get to keep their high ceiling while also enjoying the fruits of an enlarged bedroom! 

Remodels like these really showcase why our videos are effective. It's one thing to explain these changes. It's another thing to show these changes from a top-down view via blueprints or floor plans. The best solution, however, is to simply show off these changes in video form, where we can walk you through your new space. This really gives you a good idea of what it feels like to stand in that new space!

This home is exiting the design stage. The CALOFT team cannot wait to begin this dramatic remodel! Click the button below to follow this home's journey through all the stages!

Check out this latest installment of our ongoing series! This video shows a massive high ceiling space that is just begging to be converted!

That vacant lot is set to be transformed into a new open bonus room. This will function as a gigantic play area and media center. This will serve the family well, whether they want to gather together to watch a movie, or have some fun competition at the pool table. 

But our dramatic remodels don't have to stop there! We are converting their existing exercise area into a new bedroom, with the new open bonus room providing a convenient access point to it! The family is quite numerous and ever-growing, so the adding a new bedroom here makes sense. 

That vacancy above isn't doing much for this family right now. By converting that emptiness into two new rooms, it becomes far more valuable, both functionally and monetarily. 

This project is soon entering the construction phase. We are so excited to begin realizing this home's true potential. If you would like to follow this home's dramatic remodeling journey, then click the button below!

A high ceiling remodel is pretty much a custom structural retrofit, but wait, first we have to ask the question...what are you using all the space for?

High ceilings look good, but the question still remains; "Why do architects make homes with such high ceilings?" "Is it to make your home look bigger than it really is?". Well guess what, your home is REALLY as big as it looks, but you're not getting to use the potentially functional living space.

Why not make you home as big as it looks? Consider a high ceiling loft addition in your San Diego home. Yes, there is a specialist with over 22 years doing just that.

There might be a lot of creative ways to use the high ceiling space found in so many California and Arizona homes. Some of them are outright goofy. But the most creative ways can really add new value to your home if square footage matters to you.

We welcome even early inquiries to get information. Many people make the move to turn their high ceiling into a new room years later. Sometimes it's due to the work space that requires a new home office, other times it's purely for profit to sell the home with a little extra space added, but mostly it's the arrival of twins, triplets or the family just keeps growing one at a time and it's just a matter of time.
