duclos and gerlier reduced the hallways and created additional bedroom. the tailor-made bookcase in the new room includes a storage system and two beds — they are designed like two meshes for sleeping.

the bookcase allows you to put on display or to hide objects, depending on your needs. each child has his own mesh to hide in. 

particular attention was paid to the choice of furniture which echoes the customized carpentry work designed specifically for each room. transparent doors in the kitchen let light from the courtyard flow insude.
