BUNK HAUS
With ample space to sleep 20+ guests, the Bunk Haus is the perfect solution for these former Chicago natives who enjoy having the extra space to host their many friends and family members. Our task was to create a sophisticated yet whimsical space where adults and children alike could feel at home. To maintain the symmetry, we lightened up formerly dark space by painting the walls a soft white and staining the floors the same tone as the neighboring barn. Our goal in all structures was to showcase the views so in this particular space we removed bookcases and centered the seating area around the picture window. Inspired by the family’s travels, the Bunk Haus takes guests on an African safari. As soon as you walk up to the deck of the bunk house the theme begins with porch swings covered in zebra fabrics. A large elephant photograph welcomes you in the entryway and a cozy seating area with a kitchenette joins together the girls and boys wings. Wicker safari animals adorn the walls and elephant side tables accompany the lower bunks. To further the fantasy, the former empty loft area was transformed into a campsite with canvas cascading along the pitched ceiling and walls. This area is the perfect escape after a long day of enjoying nature and the outdoor activities that Montana has to offer. Behind the draped canvas a TV can be revealed, making this the perfect spot for movie nights and sleepovers.
