Hello everyone,
my brother-in-law wants to convert his attic. The goal is to create 2 children’s bedrooms for his grandchildren. The "older generation" is currently moving to the ground floor, and the young family will take the first floor. The attic will be shared. Grandpa already has his small office there (which is already set up and cannot be changed), and each family must definitely have a storage room.
Please don’t be bothered by the fact that they all share the stairs and attic. They are running around all day anyway. That’s what they want.
We have knee walls of 74cm (29 inches) (interior). However, all measurements were roughly taken while crawling around with a baby in hand, so we have to accept some deviations. The insulation will be applied directly to the slopes—there will be no ceiling. There are two dormer windows in the future children’s bedrooms, but I can only indicate them as windows here. The 2-meter (6 ft 7 in) height line is drawn 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) from the knee wall. The starting situation is somewhat tricky due to the chimneys and small windows. And of course, everything is not perfectly symmetrical.
Attached is the homeowner’s layout, which I don’t think is bad at all. The downside is storage room 1 with the door/wall situation and the half wall ending in front of the stairs.
I made a second proposal with sloped walls. This makes the hallway larger, but the usable floor space in the rooms only decreases slightly because the winding corridor in the homeowner’s design is not really usable anyway.
The third image just shows the starting situation.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, I don’t think 73cm (29 inches) knee wall height is enough for the bed, right? You’d probably keep bumping your head all the time. Not sure, I’ll have to measure my bed...
There should be a large wardrobe in the room. And in my opinion, the desk can’t really go anywhere else because of the sloped ceiling.
That’s why the bed is basically in the middle of the room. I didn’t really want to block the dormer with the bed – but it probably can’t be avoided. It’s annoying, a huge room but still no space. 😉
