Brazilian Houses That Transform and Reuse Attic Space

Subscriber Access

Attics are floors at the top of a house, close to the roof. Due to the roof slope angle, they usually have an inclined shape, which limits their space and makes them underutilized environments. However, despite this particularity, attics can have several uses in a project and convert into multifunctional spaces for residents.

Historically, attics were mostly used as storage areas. They offered a convenient space to store seasonal objects, old furniture, documents, and other items from a house that were not used frequently. Over the years, the demand for additional spaces and the new usage needs that arose in many houses led to the transformation of many attics into other environments, such as additional bedrooms, offices, art studios, and leisure spaces.
