SETTING
An 1870s cottage
Home to adolescent twins
sharing the only available bedroom
Both eying the tiny adjacent space
and dreaming of separate rooms
PLOT
The wall is relocated, creating two equal rooms.
Meters of new storage are devised, desperately needed by the family of four.
Although both rooms receive the same treatment,
the personality of each twin puts a different face on its appearance.
THE EXISTING PLAN
The rowhouse provided a good sized square second bedroom, large enough for two people to share, but left little usable space in the small adjacent room.
NEW TWIN ROOMS
A new deep wall of cabinets envelops the bed, tucking it into a cozy corner.
The cabinets and bed are prefabricated pieces (Ikea), assembled with custom supports and trim to fit the space.
The opposite wall gets a wall-to-wall treatment of shelves with a niche for a desk.
TWIN A
The first twin prefers earthier tones and chooses a mix of white and green cabinets accented by darker woods.
A dark wood desk is fit into the centre of a library wall, between prefabricated bookshelves and a simple custom unit featuring walnut floating shelves, that houses the occupant's existing Lego storage system.
TWIN B
A clean, cool palette of white and gray is chosen by the second twin, with added touches of bleached birch tones.
The library wall, though not long, pairs a tall prefabricated bookshelf with a small gray stained wood desk with a black metal frame.
