Here is the apartment I built in the attic of the house at the Vague Estates. This house seems to have started its life as a barn, and this was the hay loft, a dirty unfinished place with lots of potential.
John, the owner/architect designed a high energy efficiency approach. Foam insulation in walls/roof and careful air sealing around windows and doors have produced a very tight, comfortable space.
I introduced a natural building touch, with a lime-sand finish plaster on the gable and knee walls. I’m happy we did, it contrasts nicely with the vast area of ceiling. I think the space turned out great!
