Turner Architects has turned an unused attic in south London into a birch-ply bedroom and study.
Birch ply lines the converted loft beneath two rooflights.

The project
This roof conversion turns a former storage attic into a place of retreat. Birch ply wraps continuously across walls, ceilings and built-in furniture, so the room feels folded into the existing house rather than added to it.
The room works as both bedroom and study. Rooflights and a circular window frame views of sky and city, while carefully resolved junctions let the craftsmanship read without distraction.
A desk is set beneath a rooflight between built-in bookshelves.
A narrow ply-lined passage leads towards the bedroom.
The bed sits beneath the angled roof planes.
A circular window frames views across the rooftops.
Built-in storage and a desk line the loft.
