"Situated on an upper floor of a Wyoming vacation house overlooking a grove of aspens, the bedroom Mariette Himes Gomez designed for a family's three boys, then in their early teens, 'is like a tree house,' she says. 'The space . . . is my articulation of a classic bunkhouse . . . a space that could accommodate the growing boys and their guests.' For the 18-by-20-foot room, she had two sets of four maple bunks built and placed the sets against opposite walls. She kept the rest of the furnishings to a minimum. The desks are built in, and the bunks offer storage in the form of drawers and bookshelves."

"Design Notebook: Rooms of Their Own"
Architectural Digest (December 2007).
" 'We encapsulated the furniture into one piece that could be modified over time,' architect Peter Pennoyer says of a room for a five-year-old boy in a Manhattan town house. The ingenious structure holds a bunk bed, shelves for books and toys and an adjustable-height desk. Pennoyer 'wanted the piece to be as comfortable as possible,' so there are no sharp edges anywhere on it. Victoria Hagan, the project's interior designer, also emphasized comfort, giving the room plush carpet and an abundance of soft places to relax."
