Rachel and Martin are the Founders of Scandinavian Loft.
We recognise the problems people have with a lack of space; from living in small studio spaces and tiny one bedroom flats, to families needing to expand into larger spaces.
We want to provide design-led solutions to improve homes and maximise on the space available to make it much more enjoyable to live in.
When the pandemic hit the World, we saw a huge increase for our projects, when people worked from home. At the same time we could not go into people’s home and lost all our skilled carpenters and joiners.
Facing a lot of potential projects but with no one to deliver them. We took a Time-out! Time to adapt and rethink our model and ended up pivoting into a manufactured modular product system. which we have developed over a few years. We have been prototyping and are now ready to deliver again.
Our office remains at Mainyard Studios in Hackney, London. We moved out to Wales. We have also found a new workspace at Tramshed Tech, Cardiff, Wales.
