01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I designed and built this custom elevated loft bed from scratch to maximize space and functionality in a unique bedroom alcove. Precision structural framing with 2x4s, 2x2s, and structural screws ensures the upper platform is fully supported and secure. The build includes an integrated wooden access ladder, angled guardrail matching the ceiling pitch, and smooth plywood finishes. Every joint and detail was tailored to fit the client's storage needs while providing a clean, durable setup built to withstand daily use.
