This usable space of this loft addition was doubled by building a featured called a dormer. A dormer can be one window wide or three windows wise. This dormer addition was a two window wide gable dormer.

Sloping ceiling. Another experienced contractor who quoted this addition told the homeowner that a coffer ceiling was not possible because of the structural framing requirements. When Chris Doering looked at it he immediately saw the way. Large 4 tray coffer ceiling installed.
