Making the most of the space above a garage in this Cape Cod home, Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders crafted this nautically themed bunkroom for the homeowner’s grandchildren. Spacious and bright, with cozy built-in beds and a porthole, the room resembles a boat interior and is a fun place for the kids to hang out. Pullout drawers beneath the beds and bookshelves in the walls create additional storage. Nice!
