A King-Size Bedroom With Its Own Workspace
At the quiet end of the house, the parents’ bedroom feels unexpectedly generous. A king-size bed occupies the center of the room, yet there is still space to move around it comfortably. The bed is raised on a handcrafted timber base with storage concealed underneath, allowing bulky belongings to be kept close without introducing additional freestanding cupboards.
A long built-in desk and drawer unit runs beneath a broad window, creating a bright home office inside the bedroom. The surface is large enough for a computer, paperwork and creative projects, while the window provides a peaceful view across the garden. By integrating the workspace into the bedroom, the design avoids sacrificing a separate office area elsewhere in the compact house.
Doors and windows on multiple sides prevent the bedroom from feeling like a sealed box at the end of a narrow plan. One door opens onto a small private section of the deck, giving the adults an outdoor retreat of their own. Pale timber, simple bedding, a woven light and restrained artwork maintain the home’s consistent atmosphere while allowing the room to feel restful and distinctly separate from the busier shared spaces.
