A child's bedroom with a place for everything! Kirsten Johnstone Architecture (formerly Eco Edge Architecture + Interior Design) has applied personal and professional experience in the design of the built-in joinery here. The fun of a window seat includes storage drawers below which seamlessly transitions into a desk with overhead cupboards and an open bookshelf dividing element. Floor to ceiling built-in robes includes double height hanging, drawers, shoe storage and shelves ensuring a place for everything (who left those shoes out!?). Photography: Tatjana Plitt
