CASE STUDIES
CASE #1 BUNDY
There was a perfect spot for a Horizontal Murphy bed in this ADU but the bed was a little short, so we designed the top to fit side to side between the walls and had the factory make fillers for the sides and Presto! A perfect fit!
CASE #2 ECHO PARK
This customer had a original Arts & Crafts home. We designed this to play off of the original design and worked within some space issues to create an guest room with a view!
CASE #3 EL PASO
We had a challenge with this unit. It’s a small home office that needed to function as a guest room every once in a while. The problem was it was too small for most of the standard Murphy beds we carry. After a couple of conversations we came up with a creative solution and added some needed storage at the same time.
CASE #4 HYDE PARK
No overall space challenges with this project, but we had a depth issue we couldn’t ignore. If it was deeper that 16”, we were going to cover the cuircut breakers. These are never insurmountable issues for us here at MBOLA!
CASE #5 OCEAN BANQUETTE
We don’t just make Murphy Beds. Here’s one of our recent projects. A custom made Tuck & Roll dining banquet with a $1,000,000 view! (truth be told, probably a few million!)
CASE #6 PALOS VERDE
This customer had an extra room but felt limited by the fact that it contained a queen bed for occasional overnight guests. They lived in a condo with no way to add on, so this was a great solution. Now they have both a home gym and a spare room with a bed when needed.
CASE #7 RIVIERA
Here’s a simple but elegant unit we designed and built for a customer's new home. We tried to match the decor and style from parts of the new home and created a multi-functional room in this Home office.
CASE #8 ROLLING HILLS
Here’s another one of our favorites. Sometimes we’re putting a Murphy bed in a home office. With this particular configuration, we’re supplying the Murphy Bed and the desk for the home office. This unit “The Berkeley”, is popular because in order to use the Murphy bed, there’s no need to clear the desk. You have approx 18” of clearance when the bed is in use.
CASE #9 SEA AIRE
We've done a few of these for some of the smaller ADU’s and they’re great for elevating the functionality of your space. This couch Murphy bed with side piers has everything your overnight guests might need. The side piers have drawers and pullout trays that act as night stands for your guests as well as open shelves and a hanging clothes closet.
CASE #10 SIGNAL HILL
Here’s a two-toned Logan Murphy in an office but the customer needed another piece to match so we custom-designed a new credenza and matched the color and style to the Murphy Bed.
CASE #11 THE PINES
This customer had a very large entryway in her home. She was short on Bookcases and display areas in her home but needed an extra bed as well. Here’s what we came up with. Next stage is more bookcases on the 2nd floor!
CASE #12 THE WALTON'S
The Walton's last daughter had just moved out. These Empty-Nesters really wanted a home office but still needed an extra bed for when the kids come home or they have guests. This was the dual use solution we came up with.
CASE #13 Air B&B/Mother-in-law SUITE
This customer needed space for when her parents visited but she was maxed out inside her home. She decided to convert her garage and while she was at it and try her hand at an AirB&B rental. The garage was a little on the small side so this is the creative solution we came up with. Combo Desk/Bed with no need to clear the desk when you pull down the bed! Viola! Room for Mom & Dad when they visit and some extra income when she rents it on AirB&B! A real Win-Win situation!
