This home in Alexandra Headland is a tropical design based on the clients previous home in Cairns. The client is a retired woman with visiting family of daughters and grandkids. Her original brief was to solve the sleeping arrangements of the grandkids, one of whom slept on a mattress in her study and the other on a mattress on the floor of the walk in robe. Two options presented themselves: a loft platform in the double height foyer which would solve spatial issues of the entry or a banquette built into the study to accommodate the two children. Both options are shown here in the images but the client opted to move forward with the study banquette and the results are excellent. The kids sleep together in a custom made piece of cabinetry with storage under and shelf units each end.
