在宅で仕事や勉強ができる場所がほしい、という住民の声から

コロナの影響もあって、在宅仕事や勉強が増えたので、そういう場所が欲しいという声が増えていました。シェアハウスですから共有部の充実は大事ですしね。住民のために思い切って！
（もちろん各居室に机とイスを置いてあるんですけど😅）

5Fのキッチン隣の部屋を、ロフトベッド付きの勉強部屋に

そういうわけで、いままで居室に使っていた５Fのキッチン隣の部屋を、勉強部屋に改装しました。
机を新たに買って置くだけでもいいんですが、できるだけ部屋を広く使うことと、緊急時のためにやはりベッドを置いておきたいんで、背の高いロフトベッドを作ることに。部屋のサイズにきっちり合わせて作ります。

近くのホームセンターのコーナンでツーバイフォー材料を大量に買付け（余談ですがそれでひとトラブルあったんですが😂）、組み立て。素人なりに良い出来だと思います！😆

せっかくなのでタイムラプス動画を撮影したので、見てみてください。
（広角で撮ったので狭く見えるけど、ベッド＝机の幅は2.2mあります）

Residents asked for a place to work and study at home

With COVID pushing more people to work and study from home, we’d been hearing more and more requests for a dedicated space for that. In a share house, having great common areas really matters, so we decided to go for it for the residents!
(Of course, every room already has its own desk and chair 😅)

Turning the 5th-floor room next to the kitchen into a study room with a loft bed

So we renovated the room on the 5th floor next to the kitchen — previously used as a bedroom — into a study room.
We could have just bought a new desk and called it done, but we wanted to keep the room as open as possible while still having a bed on hand for emergencies, so we decided to build a tall loft bed instead. We made it to fit the room’s exact dimensions.

We bought a huge haul of 2x4 lumber from our local Kohnan hardware store (there was a bit of drama with that purchase, but that’s a story for another time 😂), then got building. For amateurs, I think it turned out pretty great! 😆

We shot a time-lapse video of the whole build, so take a look.
(It was filmed with a wide-angle lens so the room looks smaller than it is — the bed/desk is actually 2.2m wide.)
