My future home

Earlier this week Yahoo featured a slideshow of designer Steven Kuhl’s work on a one-of-a-kind pirate ship bedroom he built for his six-year-old nephew’s bedroom. 



Inside the room there is a floating pirate ship, equipped with a crow’s nest, cannon ports and guest bed.  To access the ship, there’s a rope bridge sitting atop the jail cell at the opposite end of the bedroom, or there’s a trap door beneath the captain’s wheel concealing a rope to the inside of a closet on the floor below.


At another client’s house, Kuhl’s design build company installed a 55 foot spiral slide hidden in a mudroom closet that leads to the basement, a hidden staircase that leads to a private office and library, a climbing wall, and a golfing room.
I plan on building a house with many of these features, except the climbing wall and golfing room.
