Tobacco Warehouse Attic Conversion

Lancaster , Pennsylvania is the oldest inland city in America. Rich with a history of farming, many of the old brick and timber frame buildings were originally tobacco warehouses. This attic space had a height of about 7 feet (2.13 meters) . When the old roof was torn off it was raised to a new height of 11 feet (3.35 meters). The old wood roof was reclaimed and used to build the new loft. Below the loft is an additional bed for guests. Space saving features include a tv and cabinet that lower from the ceiling with the touch of a remote. There is a hidden cabinet in the bathroom that disappears behind the washer and dryer. The folding murphy bed in apartment B provides additional lounge space during the day.
The original wood floors were refinished and custom ribbon mahogany cabinets were designed for the kitchen. While two separate apartments , the intercommunicating door allows the places to be used as one beautiful getaway!
