Two-Bedroom Renovation in Glenside, PA
Custom Storage and Built-In Office Alcoves Under the Roofline
Working within the natural constraints of upper-floor rooms under a roofline takes more creativity than a standard bedroom renovation — and this two-bedroom project in Glenside, PA is a good example of what thoughtful planning and skilled execution can deliver.
Both rooms received new drywall, fresh paint, and recessed lighting throughout. Original hardwood floors were preserved, keeping the warmth and character of the home intact.
Mini-split HVAC units were installed in each room, providing efficient year-round climate control without the ductwork a traditional system would require.
The storage and layout work is where this project really stands out. IKEA systems were selected as the foundation for storage in each room, but required custom modification and fitting to work properly within the angled walls and roofline geometry.
Shelving, hanging space, and drawer configurations were all adapted to the specific dimensions of each space.The most distinctive feature in both rooms is the custom bypass sliding door system.
In each bedroom, two 36x80" doors are mounted on a track recessed into the ceiling, a critical detail that preserves every inch of overhead clearance in rooms that can't afford to lose it.
When closed, the doors create a fully separated office alcove within the bedroom, giving the homeowner a private, defined workspace without sacrificing square footage or requiring a wall. The ceiling-recessed track is a clean, deliberate finish detail that makes the whole system feel purpose-built rather than improvised.
