Interesting residential renovation in Montrouge, France by Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec, where the bedroom is housed in a suspended floating cube which sits in the middle of the 50sqm apartment. The cube, the floor, the walls and the ceiling are all painted with white polyurethane resin. Crisp, clever, simple and beautiful.

On another note, did you notice that these shots weren’t all taken on the same day – the furniture, the camera style and the light quality are all different. And the bookshelf contents too. I know, amazing observation skills – I should have been a detective. My talent is wasted!

Yes, as you can see, I am struggling with intelligent things to say today. Let’s try again tomorrow, shall we? Meet you at the same time and place. Great. Ok, bye.

    Dana, you are hilarious, as always.
    I love this bedroom – it’s just like a cubby house, and something I would have designed for a uni project…

    Well Sherlock I confess I am enthralled by the concept of the suspended box bedroom.

    I find it really interesting that the bedroom space seems so warm and snug yet the rest of the space seems so stark and cold. It’s like a balance of opposites.

    Fun structure. Lacking in privacy though (when you have house guests).

    I used to have a same but different in the form of a loft bedroom above my bathroom. There was no door or blind, but the key was that it was above eyelevel of anyone I had crashing over.
