BUNK HAUS

Designed to accommodate a full house of more than 20, the Bunk Haus reimagines a once dark, underused space as something lighter, more open, and entirely transportive. The palette is softened—walls in a quiet white, floors stained to echo the neighboring barn—bringing continuity while allowing the atmosphere to shift. The layout was simplified, centering the main room around the picture window and creating a natural gathering space that connects the boys’ and girls’ wings through a shared kitchenette and lounge.

There is a sense of play, but it’s grounded. Whimsical references to safari appear throughout—woven textures, animal forms, patterned fabrics—introduced with a light hand rather than overt theme. A large-scale photograph anchors the entry. Wicker and carved pieces line the walls. Objects feel collected, not staged.

The loft above becomes something else entirely. Wrapped in canvas, it takes on the feeling of a tented retreat—soft, enclosed, and slightly removed from the rest of the house. It’s a space for winding down, for movies, for sleepovers that stretch late into the night. The result is immersive, a place that invites both kids and adults in, and holds them there a little longer than expected.
