Eva's Bed...by H2O ARCHITECTS, France

This project by H2O Architects, is an elevated child’s bed that also forms a partition and play area in a Paris residence. The structure includes shelves, steps, hidden compartments  for the children to play in and around.



This Project was completed in 2009. But the design is a case study to all intending to divide spaces for their kids. The structure minus the sharp edges plus some customization can prove to be a magical space provider for those with high ceiling and less floor space.

The first glimpse may be a bit confusing but it will be quickly followed by nodding of the head and appreciation of the design.















As per H2O Architects'....With the arrival of a new baby in the family, a young couple pressed for space decided to divide a room into two parts. The idea was to provide a personal space to each child. The project answers to this request of separation by adding a third space making the partition..... . 


.....The creation of a “multiple-use furniture” in the middle of the space allows to add some depth to the primary basic partition. It afford passages, secret storage, bed, office... in a fun way. The new partition is porous creating steps, cavities and niches which suggests many possibilities for climbing, hiding, drawing.Mainly fun!
