Sleeping Box 

Multifunctional boxes have always been the goal of home design

This device is the ultimate solution for small spaces

Some boxes serve as kitchens

Some serve as wardrobes, laundry rooms, and even bathrooms

However, what really caught our attention was the "sleeping box"

This unconventional interior design

It is as fascinating as a butterfly cocoon

 Project 1: Suite in a Box 

This is a beautiful private mansion designed by architect Rebecca Benichou from Batiik Studio .

Small room with an area of ​​32 ㎡

The owner wanted a "box" that would serve as his entire room

A bathroom and a wardrobe

But the area of ​​the "box" is only 7.5㎡

The cube is approximately 2.5m × 3m × 3m

The bedroom area is 1.6m×2m

On the right is a 70cm deep wardrobe

There is a small restroom about 1m×3m on the back.

Bed platform 70cm from the ground

And put on a 23cm thick comfortable mattress

Owners with a height of 1.8m want to be able to stand upright inside the box

Therefore, only a purely decorative 30cm floor-to-ceiling was built.

The "box" is made from Fenix ​​wooden frames 

This is a scratch resistant

Easy-to-repair matte material

Side niches can be opened or closed

Make it as effective as possible

Two sliding glass doors add some privacy to the bed

Drawers under the bed can be opened from the side of the stairs

The wardrobe is on the right side of the "box"

Black Phoenix coating covers the outside of the case

This creates a striking contrast to the oak panels in the interior.

LEDs illuminate the entire "box"

Highlighting the multifunctional structure

This is the design highlight of the apartment

 Project 2: A small room that feels big 

This is an apartment of about 27 square meters in Paris

The project  was designed by architect Benjamin Delais  of BLDB

The couple wanted to focus their living space on the living room.

To ensure that the light shines in from the window

The size of this sleeping box is 2.5mx1.6mx2m

Made of wooden frame covered with MDF

The side is a staircase about 50cm wide

Fixed to the beams in the two concrete walls

The entire wooden structure is supported by load-bearing rods

This bed platform is about 1.2m high

There is enough space to sit on the bed

There are exits on both sides of the bed, which is a very interesting design.

The "cocoon" can be entered through a small door at the top of the stairs

The shutters can be opened at any time

There are five storage modules under the bed

Three of them are closets

Can be pulled out and in at will on the telescopic track

Tracks are used to bear greater weight

The homeowner calls this design the " basement " of his home.

Even store your bikes here

Different from Project 1

The owner wanted to minimize the visual impact of the box on the small room.

So the designer chose white like the wall

The wooden box is custom-made by the carpenter and can be moved

The hinges are invisible and there are no handles installed

The depression is for opening the drawer

 Project 3: Sleeping in a Nest 

This room is 28 square meters.

Designed by architect Cyril Rheims for a young student

Rheims does not want to divide the space in detail.

So a 2.3m×1.5m×1.6m box was built into a bedroom.

The left side of the "box" leads to the bathroom

Bird-like nests

The bedroom floor is fixed to the back wall with metal rods

Built with supporting metal joists

Connected to the wall at multiple points

The rest of the frame is made of wood

This box can save a lot of space

72cm above the floor

The mattress platform is intentionally made slightly longer than the bed

Orange blocks as seats

The storage space is designed on the wall below the boxes
and is the same color as the rest of the room.

Taupe and white combination

The slits on the two sides are consistent with the lines of the shelves in the living room and kitchen.

It also provides ventilation for the box.

 Project 4: 2 Boxes for 4 Children 
in an Apartment in Paris, France

This family has 4 children

There is not enough space to provide a separate room for each child.

Graal Architects was in charge of the project.

A smart two-box approach to meeting this family's needs

Design two bunk beds in a 39㎡ room

This solution is much easier than creating multiple rooms

Most importantly, it can also be used as a shared space

Great for promoting relationships between brothers and sisters

This box is made of MDF

Timber frame and pine glued laminate flooring

The volume is 1.45m×3mx2.85m

These boxes can effectively hide the structure of the house.

To create a large room, a load-bearing wall was removed.

Two new support points are added between the bookshelf and the bed

The concrete shell and metal HEA beams are already hidden in the box.

Like other similar projects

These large sleeping boxes are multifunctional

Each has two beds, a wardrobe plus shelves and a study area with a desk.

In addition, it is equipped with sliding partitions and can be divided into independent spaces.

The room can be divided into three parts

This way both older children can have their own privacy

When the sliding wall retracts into the "box"

These "boxes" are like two pillars

Children can run and play around it together

This red box

The kids really enjoyed it

The designer reinterpreted the lifestyle of this apartment

In a common space, everyone can play together happily and easily

As these four projects aim to demonstrate

Just seeing these boxes

People will definitely be attracted by its fun
