Loft Addition
BEFORE AND AFTER
The vacant space behind the builder's choice railing in the before shot is waiting to be redeemed into usable living space. Check out this before and after of what the area around the stairwell looks like.
We added two bedrooms a bathroom and a hallway desk station. Here's a few pics for inspiration!

This simple before and after photo shows how normal it is to fill in the high ceiling and the "open-to-below" space and convert it into a new room.
This home in Laguna Niguel gained a whole new second floor game and family area.

Here is another stair railing modification which is seen in the before and after pictures. The new loft is usually always built directly over the existing stair railing. The railing going up the stairs is removed and a "jog around" is installed around the new wall that intersects the loft and rail.

AFTER (below)
The new ceiling has a square six inch deep coffer with crown moulding plus a 2 inch ceiling soffit making the coffer appear even deeper (8 inches) total.
The railing bends around the new wall to provide a continuous handrail up to the next landing as required by building code.
