Unfinished Attic Transformation

The owners of a 1950s ranch in Madison, WI wanted to transform their unfinished attic into a fully finished second floor with a primary bedroom retreat, ensuite bath, and plenty of closet space.

Our clients dreamed of a quiet, private bedroom retreat with a spa-like bathroom and enough storage to stay organized. aAll while keeping the home’s cozy footprint and character intact.

We wanted to turn that empty attic into a comfortable, energy-efficient second floor that didn’t just add space, but made the entire home feel new again.

With the addition of a dormer, we doubled the usable square footage of the home!

From design to construction to finishings, we worked with our clients to:

• Finish the attic into a full second floor with a bedroom, bathroom, and beautiful walk-in closets

• Design an open layout that felt spacious, not “hallway-like” or cramped

• Create symmetry inside and out, so the addition looked like it had always belonged

• Relieve pressure on the first-floor bathroom and free up the downstairs bedrooms for new uses

• Keep the project on time and on budget

The result? A completely transformed home that doubled its usable square footage with an addition that feels like it's always been there.
