Why three modifications of the sleeping box? Because I wanted to give you the freedom of choice and the possibility to combine them as you wish. At least 18 combinations are possible.
These three sleeping boxes differ in size, number of storeges and type of entry.
Common elements for all three sleeping boxes are:
- Podium, which is designed to create additional floor storege boxes.
- Window opening, which can be used as a bar table.
- Each box has a small enclosed space for pulling out the wiring.
- Built-in bed and a folding bed table, according to the task.
- Cat's entrances, combined with cat's sleeping places.
- Potentially good sound insulation, as all the walls of the box are essentially are storages.
- Lamps may be not attached to the surfaces of the box itself and can be installed on the walls and ceiling of the room. The boxes have openings in places adjoining to the walls and ceiling for this specific purpose.
Additional design development.
As you can see, I decided to create detailed assembly instructions for each of the three sleeping boxes. In these instructions, each component of a sleeping box is dimensioned, and the sequence of joining details is shown. Thus, the carpenter's work will cost you less money. The instructions do not indicate the connecting elements, because their choice depends largely on the local market and the carpenter himself, who will be engaged in assembling the box.
In addition, many elements of different modifications of the boxes are complementary. Therefore, if you get bored of one design, the assembly of the next one will be much cheaper.
*(UPD) The dimensions of all the elements are indicated on each sheet of instruction. If you'll like my design, I can make a summary sheet with a list of all the elements with their sizes and quantity for each modification and send it to you separately.*
And now more about the features of each design.
XXL - This design has the largest number of external and internal storages. The interior space is enlarged. The only drawback of this version is its large size, because of this overlapping of window openings is inevitable. If you do not intend to move window openings, I recommend using no more than one such box in the room.
M - In fact, it is a compact version of the previous design. A part of the external and internal storages is removed. But thanks to this, this design almost perfectly fits into the room. And when combining two of these boxes, an additional mini dressing room is formed.
S - Design with the least (but still not small) number of storages. In this case, the overall dimensions are not much different from the previous design, so the interior space of the box is much more spacious. Unlike previous designs, this design uses a convenient sliding door, and the box window is divided into two leaflets to additionally be able to adjust the natural lighting of interior space.
Everything is for cats.
The principles of the cat's entrances vary slightly for different modifications of the boxes.
For M and XXL design, the cat's entrance only works if the bed is spread out. This decision was made on the basis of the logic that box is completely closed specifically during sleeping time. But for these two designs there is always a second option, in the form of not completely closing the entrance roller shutters. Since the very interior of the box is on the podium, incomplete closing of the shutter does not open the view into the room, but it will allow the cats to easily enter and exit the room at any time.
If we talk about S design, it is absolutely cats friendly. The cat's entrance goes to the two sides of the box. Inside the entrance there are two cats sleeping places. The cat's entrance is always open, regardless of the position of the bed or the door of the box. For me, as for the owner of two cats myself, this design is favorite one, although in the previous two designs there is much more room for feline entertainment.
