Context

This children's bedroom had a rare asset: a high ceiling. The challenge was to exploit this volume to create a room that would evolve, be playful and practical, while offering the child a unique place to sleep, play and work.

Approach & design

The project has three main focuses:

• Optimizing space: a bespoke mezzanine, accessed by a library staircase, frees up the floor for an office and play area.
• Durability: a layout designed to accompany children at every stage of their growth, from school age to adolescence.
• Made-to-measure joinery: integrated furniture (cupboards, shelves, niches) made from solid wood, combining robustness and aesthetics.

Ambiance & materials

• Wood: structure and furniture in warm, timeless stained oak.
• Colors: a combination of deep green and matte white to energize the space while remaining sober.
• Details: openwork railings, coloured niches, enhanced natural lighting.
• Spirit: a playful, graphic universe, designed as a contemporary tree house.

Results

The Shyakito project offers a unique room, tailor-made to grow with its occupant:

• an intimate, secure, elevated sleeping area,
• integrated office and play area,
• multiple storage options that combine practicality and design,
• a warm, playful and progressive atmosphere.
