Barcelona-based architect Susanna Cots completed this home's interior in 2012 with a focus on design, functionality, landscape and warmth, all while maintaining her devotion to the color white. Mission accomplished. The entire place is gorgeous and peaceful. The low loft bed design for the kid's room provides ample space for storage, work and play.
The addition of the pull-out desk to the underbed storage is a great idea worth borrowing. The surface is easily accessible when needed, but stashing it away puts the kibosh on clutter, and when work is done the chair can be pushed into a corner. Maximizing the functionality of the sleep area's footprint also means maxing out open space for play, and colorful textiles punctuate all of that wood and white.

I really like built-in pull-outs like the desk pictured. I think kids would find this an adventurous bedroom and fun to live in. My only qualm is the open side to the bed with a 3 foot drop for restless sleepers or kids horsing around and tumbling off. I'd probably have added a small bedside table - built as part of the platform - to hold books and kid stuff, and maybe to act as a boundary. Beautiful room.

This is the only child's bedroom I've seen on AT that I actually like! It seems functional and flexible.
This would be great for someone in a high ceilinged studio apartment.
The angled mattress is effective! I wonder, is it shaped this way?
Wonderful - would have loved having this as a kid or now except I'd trip on the steps!
