Ever since our daughter was born a year ago, we knew the day was coming when our two children would share a 7’6” x 11’6” bedroom. Lofts were the only way to accommodate our current and future sleeping needs in a relatively small space. After an extensive web search, we reached out to multiple local carpenters.
Sander was quick to respond. He spent time over the phone talking through our initial design concept and gave me an approximate budget range. He was available in less than a week to meet at our apartment to review field conditions and flush out the design. And he developed a series of design sketches along with the final pricing prior to commencing work.
Most importantly, Sander is a craftsman. We wanted a loft that was functional AND beautiful. We wanted our children to appreciate that the wood in our home was once a living, natural material. In addition to the practical structure and support design, Sander created a functional Loft sculpture. He combined a variety of wood species, timber products, salvaged materials and finishes into a veritable bunk-bed tree-house.
When we ask our son about his Loft he says, “My bed is made of wood. Wood comes from trees.” We couldn’t ask for anything more.
