The founders of Barcelona-based studio Takk have found one of the most creative ways to showcase their love for their six-year-old daughter, Roma. The couple built a mobile child’s bedroom in their Barcelona apartment by employing recycled materials from their previous projects. Mireia Luzarraga and Alejandro Muino, the founders of Takk constructed the bedroom from construction waste such as concrete blocks, timber, drywall sheets, and recycled cotton insulation for the exterior.
Situated within the family’s 4,305 square feet of loft area, the mobile bedroom is elevated on a wheeled base, providing effortless mobility around the apartment. The purpose of making the bedroom mobile is to make it adaptable to the apartment’s shifting layout, as the pair is constantly working on large-scale architectural projects.
Roma’s bedroom features an elevated wood wheel foundation, above which concrete blocks support a wooden construction accessed via a wooden staircase and a small yellow door. The high-pitched roof and bubble windows emphasize the profile. The design idea was proposed by Roma, who wished to have her own space and wanted it to resemble a child’s drawing of a house.
On the other side of the structure, there is a wooden ladder that leads to the attic. Both the interior and exterior spaces are intended for sleeping in different temperatures.

Mireia Luzarraga and Alejandro Muino said, “In this regard, the new bedroom for Roma, a six-year-old girl, offers two ways of being inhabited. One is interior, for the colder months of the year, and the other is exterior, under the gabled roof, designed to be used during the summer months.”
This mobile child’s bedroom is surely an architectural wonder that makes the best use of construction waste. Takk Studio has used waste materials in its previous projects as well, simultaneously challenging the conventional use of materials used in various industrial projects. Luzárraga and Muiño believe that this method “challenges modern design and architecture to address the climate crisis.”
