Maximizing Room Space with a Custom Kids Bunk Bed

The goal of this project was to transform a uniquely shaped children's bedroom by maximizing the use of vertical space. The customer requested a custom bunk bed that would utilize their room's high triangular ceiling, creating valuable extra space beneath the bed.

Planning & Creative Design

My initial sketches explored various layouts, considering safety, usability, and optimal storage. I designed the bunk bed to sit as high as safely possible, leaving ample usable floor space beneath.
