Playful Bunk Room for Grandchildren

By Susan Teare
Design by Gregor Masefield, Studio III Architects

The concept here was to have 5 “Swedish beds” or cubby holes to assimilate sleeping compartments on a train. The cousins love to have slumber parties and hang out when they come to visit their grandmother for holidays and vacations.  The big planks are locally harvested and milled Eastern Hemlock.  The family wanted the space to be an experience that would build memories and togetherness.
