The Guest Room

The guest room presented a challenge commonly encountered by many attics—a space with an awkward shape. Overcoming its small dimensions required efficient design to create functionality and aesthetics. The pitched roof and eaves introduced geometric complexities, demanding innovative solutions for a harmonized look. The single dormer with a south-facing window presented a challenge in maximizing natural light. Low ceiling heights further affected both aesthetics and functionality. Additionally, installing appropriate fixtures and wiring for sconces added complexity. Despite these challenges, the design aimed to transform the attic into a visually appealing and functional space, requiring creative thinking, technical expertise, and meticulous planning. Our goal was to address spatial constraints, architectural intricacies, limited natural light, low ceilings, and lighting needs for a successful and cohesive attic transformation.

  • "Katherine is trained as an architect and thinks about the big picture when making design recommendations. In our case, she was able to integrate the design details and furnishings she recommended for each room so that the entire space worked as a whole. Katherine has been excellent at working within our budget. She let us decide what things were worth spending money on and what were not, and respected our choices. She was also creative about ways to redeploy and update existing furniture. Her suggestions for about fabrics and paint colors across the entire space were superb."
