Designed by Steve Kuhl. The six-year-old occupant from Minnesota wanted Steve to build a one-of-a-kind bedroom for a one-of-a-kind son. Steve concepted a space ship, race car, and castle before landing on this design.
"The main feature of the room is the incredible floating pirate ship. Kuhl used 2x12 ribs to construct the hull of the ship, covering them with layers of 1/2 inch plywood to act as the planking. A bomb-proof blend of plaster and epoxy with integrated coloring was used simulate an old ship's hull.
The room is also decked out with a rope bridge that connects the pirate ship to the top of a jail cell, and a rope suspended from the ship's hull provides drop-in access to the closet. There's also a completely hidden spiral slide, that lets you travel downstairs in a more adventurous way. " |
