Aesthetics of Mansard loft conversion

Question

A Mansard loft conversion would give us the extra space we need but I think they can look a bit boxy and ugly. What would you suggest we consider to make a conversion look more attractive?

Dear Lou,
In my opinion glass openings and windows will make it very attractive.

A mansard loft can look amazing with dormer inserts and a parapet wall .., 
Using the right roof covering ie slates and leaded dormers look great

Composite vertical cladding but depending on the house type also make the dormer full width of your property and design it with bigger glass panels

To achieve enough space to accomodate 1 double bedroom.and 1 x bath/ shower room, advisable is to go for a dormer loft conversion.

This gudeline is for a standard terraced house-5meterWidth x 6-7meterDepth.

Steve · Answer

try and include as much detail as you can to the windows and choice of tiles or cladding .
also fire wall brickwork can be a nice detail.

Mark · Answer

You could consider a lantern to really open the loft space up with natural light, or if it’s more the shape of the room, we also provide a wardrobe service that would customise your space to suit the layout

Rob · Answer

Mansard conversion is typically built to the rear of your property and has a horizontal roof with an almost vertical 72-degree back wall. This not only creates a vast amount of loft space but means it has desirable room shaped proportions.

Jason · Answer

If you are willing to pay extra you could think about cutting your roof out and putting a dormer window in that will give you a different feel and more space
