THEME Inspired by the Magic Tree
House series of children’s books,
this indoor tree house provides
entertainment, fun and a place for
children to read about or imagine
adventures through time. A blue sky,
green meadows, and distant matching
beech trees recreate the magic of Jack
and Annie’s Frog Creek, and help bring
the characters from the series to life.
FOCUS A floor armoire, ceiling swing
and climbing rope give the structure
a true tree house look and feel. A
drop-down drawing and writing table,
wheeled work table and recessed
ceiling lights ensure the room can be
used for more than play. The tree house
has electric interior lighting, a window
to the outdoors and a playful sliding
shutter over a window to the room. The
armoire forms a raised, nine-foot-wide
play area, while a TV within one of the
wall’s floor-to-ceiling cabinets — with
a delightful sliding ladder — transforms
the room into a family theater perfect
for watching movies and holding Wii
competitions.
STORAGE The bottom of the drawing
table is a magnetic chalk board that
doubles as a display for children’s art
works. The tree’s small niches are for
parents’ shoes; the larger compartment
stores children’s shoes and school
bags. Books, games, toys, DVDs, Wii
and other computer accessories are
stored in the wall cabinets. The armoire
contains two spacious drawers and
four nifty hinged storage bins. A rack of
handy “vegetable buckets” above the
armoire stores crayons, scissors and
other useful items.
GROWTH The room easily adapts
from playroom, to party room, to study
room and even to bedroom, as the tree
house easily accommodates a twin-size
mattress.
SAFETY The rungs and rails of the
ladder, as well as the grab bars beside
the tree house door are wrapped
with easy-grip rope for safe climbing.
The drawing table has spring-loaded
hinges to help prevent it from dropping
dangerously from the wall, and the
table door has double sets of locks
up top to ensure safety. The interior of
each storage compartment is carpeted
like the tree house floor to provide extra
padding.

Children’s bedroom from Studio Thomas Project No. 022, designed to feel calm, timeless, and adaptable as the home grows with the family. Two wood platform beds with a continuous wood headboard create a sense of structure and balance within the room. Soft neutral bedding and simple textiles keep the palette quiet, allowing the natural warmth of the wood to stand out.
A shared nightstand between the beds provides a central point for lighting and books, while a series of small framed artworks adds a subtle, playful rhythm along the wall. Large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting. The overall composition reflects Studio Thomas’s approach to family spaces—thoughtfully designed rooms that feel comfortable, elevated, and built to last.
