A good dose of inspiration from Luis Barragán turned a dark and beleaguered midcentury house into a family home for the ages.

A lofted sleeping pod offers a bit of privacy and helps maximize space. Beneath it is a zippy yellow bathroom.

Their carpenter Proedl built a lot of the storage and furniture in the apartment, including these concealed cubbies beneath the stairs—with room for a dry bar, of course.

The new staircase to the bunk room also has a privacy screen made of a bookcase with storage.
