Orpington Loft Conversion with Unique Forms
This unique loft conversion to a detached house in Orpington, South London, presented a distinctive challenge to the Model Projects design team. The unusual roof form and low ridge line required a bespoke approach to both layout and structure. The result is a stunning, multi-purpose games and TV room, featuring dramatic angles, a unique dormer design, and a space flooded with natural light.
Project Type: Renovation and Extension
Location: Orpington, South London
Project Profile: The project included a full loft conversion to detached house in Orpington
Build Time: 4 months
The house benefits from a beautiful tree-lined garden, and a key aim of the design was to maximise views over this landscape. To achieve this, the rear dormer was pitched and fitted with bespoke, full-height windows that were carefully angled to follow the dormer’s form.
Oversized rooflights were also integrated into the design, enhancing the flow of natural light and creating a bright, uplifting atmosphere throughout the new space

Key Design Features
Due to the low ridge height, it was crucial to enhance the sense of space and headroom. This was achieved through a series of large flat rooflights, which lift the ceiling line above the original ridge and flood the area with natural light.
In addition to maximising light, the remaining eaves spaces were cleverly utilised for built-in storage. A compact W.C. was also incorporated into the front-facing gable roof, making efficient use of the available footprint.
A full planning application was submitted and approved to allow for the proposed works, ensuring the design met all homeowner planning requirements.
