In order to make the two small bedrooms pictured below seem larger, their twin-size beds were removed from the main floor area and tucked into narrow, bed-size spaces that were created or found for them.
Inset in the screen frame are panels of diagonal redwood 1-by-2s, with open triangles at the bases to add visual interest. Design was by landscape architect Jack Buktenica of Palo Alto, California, for Sunny Birkhead, Mountain View.
In the second example, San Francisco architects Cornelia and Derek Claudius used the low space under a steeply pitched second-story roof for an extra bed. They built a low stud wall with a framed opening that leaves the roof beams exposed behind the bed. Storage drawers pull out below the bed; low compartments open to the side.
