Level 2 — Convertible attic

A vast attic under a pitched roof, measured with a laser rangefinder. The ridge is not centred: it is closer to the street façade (6.60 m) than to the garden façade (7.50 m).

3D view of the attic volume

Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom. The pale volume shows the whole attic; the green area marks the part where you can stand upright (height ≥ 1.80 m).

Cross-section of the attic (scale drawing, from the rangefinder measurements). The green hatched area covers full height, floor to roof, where there is at least 1.80 m of headroom.

Measurements taken

Depth (street façade ↔ garden façade)14.00 m
Width (party wall ↔ party wall)15.00 m
Height under the ridge3.00 m
Height at the eaves, street side1.10 m
Height at the eaves, garden side0.70 m
Ridge → street façade (horizontal)6.60 m
Ridge → garden façade (horizontal)7.50 m

Calculated areas

Floor area (footprint)≈ 210 m² (15 × 14)
Area with height ≥ 1.80 m≈ 121 m²
Approximate volume≈ 411 m³

The “≥ 1.80 m” area is the part where you can stand upright (the threshold used by French floor-area law). The footprint is ~210 m² floor area, including 121 m² over 1.80 m. A realistic conversion would therefore cover 120 to 140 m² of living space, the remainder usable as low storage under the slope.
