Up in the Attic by Elizabeth and Mordechai Kubany

When Elizabeth and Mordechai Kubany bought their house in Maplewood, N.J., eight years ago, its attic was dark and forbidding.

“It was just a storage space, but it had the ceiling of a cathedral. You could sense that the potential was enormous.”

Now that space is a light-filled, 45-foot-long master bedroom suite with a glass-enclosed shower big enough for a family, a space more suggestive of a New York City loft than the attic of a stately brick house not far from the Garden State Parkway.
Taking advantage of the space’s openness, the attic is the one floor of the house that isn’t interrupted by load-bearing walls, he rebuilt it as a single large room with a bed at one end and a bathroom at the other.
