Residential remodel of an attic space added a master bedroom, master bath and nursery as well as much-needed built-in custom storage into the hallway and eave spaces.

The cedar wood plank walls in the master bedroom and bath give a tactile sense of natural materials and make the rooms glow. All photos: Josh Partee Photography
