When a German couple hired design team Lea Korzeczek and Matthias Hiller of Studio Oink to remodel their Wiesbaden apartment, they had a few items at the top of their wish list: each room needed be tailored according to its function, and have a clean Scandinavian aesthetic.
We're particularly taken with the bunk area—an elevated podium made from plywood with built-in storage that extends along the bedroom wall. Here's a look at the airy space followed by the essential elements for recreating the look.
