Kids' Room Renovation

Absolutely love it!!!
-
An incredible space for kids....but shouldn't it include a safety barrier on the upper "floor"?
-
Hi I agree about the safety too.
-
Looks great but I would have my concerns about fire safety regulations too.
-
Are we sure the children's names haven't been mixed up? I sure thought that was a boy in the picture, but the text kept saying Eva? Maybe we have Jean in the pictures and Eva is the baby sister? Anyhow. Neat idea. I'm curious how it'll work out in a few years. Maybe the smallest one will bunk upstairs?
-
Curious about a few of the Facebook comments I read on this post, I showed these slides to my four and six year old boys. They loved it! I also think it's great.
-
Frank---I think the little girl, Eva, just has a shorter haircut!
-
they allways use models...even kids.
-
Love it! however i dont like the sharp edges and the inexistent safety barrier at the top. I have a nephew and niece and I ´d be terribly upset about those two alone, playing there. I think we should design ( i was at a time a furniture designer) thinking first in safety for the kids rather than aesthetics.
-
Good effort - but it looks dangerous to me!
-
bunk bed don't really have barriers much taller than what is in the pic. but there is concern over the sharp edges. I acree with Loida safety first, aesthetics after. And why are we intent on making our toddlers spend time in modern/contemporary spaces?
-
well we survived life without car seats and seatbelts in the 70's...that was more dangerous than this cool set up!
-
We might have survived without car seats and the seatbelts in the 70s but health & safety didnt exist then!
-
The openess from the bed to the floor below does concern me though I think this is a neat space. Also, hope this isn't an area with earthquakes - all the items in the shelving above the crib would topple the poor baby! Safety should always be considered when building a child's room!
-
This is exactly how Japan has toppled the issue of its lack of floor space. Build it upwards! This Parisian dwelling is a perfect example of modernizing a small space and utilizing the maximum amount of area while being ultra-tasteful.
-
I think this was a great use of space. The inventiveness is unbelievable. I am sure you kids will be fine based on the amount thought you put in making there space enjoyable for them.
-
I have a one year old son. I want him to understand good design and recognize the difference. Nothing compares to having something designed specifically with you in mind. I applaud your work. I have been inspired to do something similar for my son. Thanks!
-
how much is it?
-
becuse its awsome!
-
Yes I agree with Pamela.... a safety barrier is a must for this gorgeous room to be kid safe/proof. If this was designed for my kid's room, I'd be worried ALL the time without the barriers of some sort.
-
Beautifully built although some safety arrangements could make it perfect, such as: placing small holders for the book case preventing these from falling down directly to the baby's crib, some sort of barrier to that huge window pannel, plexy glass as a barrier in the upper level bed, as light might come in and probably air but preventing the kids from falling down.

Seeing the kid's smile on his face can find how nice design it is...
