Tenderloin-
I'm wondering where they store all the random shite they've accumulated over the years if they don't have a loft.

Insulating the roof is pretty standard for any loft conversion? If existing rafters can do the span you don't need to rebuild, just insulate. That bathroom makes me nervous though, hope the vapour barrier has been done well.

yeah, I like this idea too. definitely extravagant, though, and don't talk to me about heating... we were keen to have the drama of the extra high ceilings because we'd moved from a tenement which had nice airy spacious rooms, whereas the 1920s houses (while not cramped compared to today's new builds) are less generous
here's an example of a house where they've 'extended' into the loft (archmongers' "peek house"):
On the upper floor, ceilings were removed to expose the rafters and help create a spacious feel within the two bedrooms and small bathroom.
