CHOOSING YOUR CONFIGURATION
Which loft would you like to build? It may depend on where you want your loft to stand. Near win-
dows so the children can look out? Far from the windows so it is cooler in summer? Look for a place
where ceiling fixtures will not be within a child’s reach, then build the loft right where you want it.
Do not reposition assembled lofts by dragging. The pages indicated have step-by-step drawings of
the lofts, so look at them to see what the first floor is like.
Tom’s loft
has doors, stairs,
and crawl through tunnels on
all sides—great for the center of
the room, or as a room divider.
Placed in the middle of a large
space, it will create many child
size play areas. Walk around it and
you may meet a group of clerks
running a department store, a ship
sailing in a brisk wind, a troupe of
firefighters courageously fighting
a blaze, or a quiet little mousy
reading a book.
Maria’s loft
is shown in our
catalog. Though the design is
compact, the front facing arch
opens a space for a bunny cage,
a dolly corner, or tea for two.
The possibilities are as varied as
the children themselves.
