A podium for a mattress instead of a bed: in the bedroom and nursery (30 ideas, 6 drawings)

Installing a podium in a children's room has both pros and cons. The most important advantage is the elevation, thanks to which you can organize the space as comfortably and efficiently as possible. But a high risk of injury is a negative point, especially if your child is very active.

If you have set a goal to include a podium in the design of your children's room, make it as safe and multifunctional as possible. Consider the design options in more detail.

Safe podium in the nursery

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a podium bed

Before starting the construction of a sleeping place, you need to take all the necessary measurements and draw a sketch drawing, taking into account all the measurements.
The bed and storage boxes should slide without difficulty even on a covered floor

It is necessary to calculate what load the podium surface will withstand, because the selection of the material from which the structure will be made depends on this indicator.

Required materials and tools

To make a bed you will need:

Materials

• timber for constructing a frame;
• boards for external parts and planks;
• boards for making boxes;
• plywood;
• MDF or OSB sheets for the internal parts of the bed.

Tools

• metal inner and outer corners;
• fasteners;
• pencil and construction tape;
• hacksaw;
• screwdriver and drill.

Preparatory stage

At the preparatory stage, you need to free the flooring from the baseboards in order to bring the support as close as possible to the wall. Then you will need to make markings.

Podium frame (assembly features)

Intermediate logs will add rigidity to the structure.

The supports are placed at a distance of 45 - 50 cm from each other; if the load is impressive, then the distance is reduced. Long guides are attached to the walls with vertical posts, and fastened together with short bars at a distance of 40 cm.

to increase strength, the frame above the berth is made of double bars.

To make the frame strong, it is recommended to lay intermediate logs

Bed frame

The frame of the retractable bed is assembled from the flooring and sides. For the manufacture of these parts, MDF or OSB boards are used. Everyone chooses the height of the sides independently, but the recommended parameter is at least 15 cm. This way the mattress will not fall.

In the center of the frame, you need to strengthen the support crossbars, to which wooden slats or flexible slats are nailed. The mattress will be placed here.

The size of the mattress cover is equal to the size of the mattress plus 5 - 7 cm on each side

The side boards and the front facade are attached to the base. Do not forget that when retracted, the facade acts as part of the podium and therefore its height should not exceed the distance between the upper edge of the podium and the floor.

Consider the size of the wheels that will be attached to the bottom of the frame

Podium covering

After the frames are mounted, you can begin cladding. Cut the finishing material into pieces of the required size and screw them to the frames with self-tapping screws.

Final stage

After the assembly is completed, it is necessary to cover the structure with any floor covering, the main thing is that the surface does not become slippery, since it is still an elevation.

Wooden structural elements must be coated with mold and mildew repellents

For this purpose, the most suitable are carpet and laminate. Finishing materials can be the same color as the covering in the entire room, or they can be completely different and be a bright spot for zoning the room.

Types of structures by organization

What height should a bed be?
There are many models of raised flooring with a bed. All of them are divided into three main types:

• Traditional.
• Improved.
• Retractable.

Creates more space

The choice of a specific type of structure should take into account:

• visual image;
• financial opportunities;
• room style;
• the need to install additional work and sleeping places;
• room parameters (ceiling height, area, regular or irregular shape, arches, ceiling beams).

There is no clear opinion about the podium bed even among designers. Many are confident in the advisability of such an organization only for very large premises. But not everything in this matter is clear. It is possible to install it even in a modest-sized apartment with a not very favorable layout.

Be sure to consider the style of the room

The frame version has a relatively simple organization. It uses metal, wood or a combination of several materials.

The average height of the podium in an ordinary apartment is from 0.25 to 0.55 m. If you need to organize storage systems, then the height should be about half a meter.

Often the podium has a rectangular shape. But this requirement is not considered mandatory. The round, semicircular shape also looks no less interesting.

It is basically rectangular in shape

The podium usually has a completely flat top floor. But perhaps even a wide mattress can be placed in the recess below the sides. This will make it possible to use the protruding planes as bedside tables and additional shelves.

Traditional podium

This type is the simplest to implement. It looks like a rigid frame made of wood with a covering of wear-resistant material and a mattress on top. The height of the flooring is usually about half a meter.

The casing is made from the following materials:

• linoleum;
• skin;
• wood;
• carpet, etc.

Traditional podium option

One of the easiest ways to decorate the outside of the podium is to paint it in several layers. The right shade will create a harmonious space in the room, where each element has its place.

Improved version

This type of bed is similar to the previous one, but with added functionality. The podium has retractable storage chambers for things: for bed linen, clothes, etc.

The decorative and originality of the structure is combined with practicality of use. Storage systems in the form of drawers can be combined with open shelves for books, souvenirs, frequently used small items, and blankets. A system of entire segments with different appearances is welcome.

The option is supplemented with functionality

Retractable mechanism

A bed with a pull-out system is a comfortable sleeping place that can be pushed under the podium. The roll-out device allows you to use the resulting free podium for organizing a workplace or storing things.

In withdrawable systems, it is necessary to pay attention to the quietness of the drawout. To do this, the wheels must have a high-quality rubber coating that does not scratch the floor and makes it possible to move the bed out and in quietly

Plastic wheels are not suitable. If used frequently, they may leave marks on the floor. In addition, plastic has a short service life and quickly becomes unusable.

Pay attention to the quietness of the withdrawable mechanism

Why bed podiums are attractive

The podiums installed in the apartment become the central part of the entire interior. They are appropriate both in spacious rooms and in narrow rooms of a small area (if the ceilings are high), allowing you to change the perception of space and optimize its use. In the second case, it becomes possible to refuse to install a massive wardrobe and often does not allow installing a double bed.

Podium with a round bed

Installed elevations can perform several functions.

1. Solve technical issues . These include the need to cover various types of communications and install storage systems.
2. Decorate the room . It is not at all necessary to functionally use the space inside the podium. If this is not necessary, the elevation can only act as a design element. Using a podium, you can adjust the geometry of the room and zone the space. On a site that occupies a fairly decent area, a living room and office, a library and a place for relaxation, a dining room and a cinema room, not to mention a bedroom, can be arranged. The idea of ​​placing both a sleeping place and a sofa for relaxation in one area seems quite reasonable.

In addition to dividing the room into zones, a podium in the interior is built to store things and even beds that do not fit in the room.
The big advantage of creating such structures is the unlimited design possibilities. This applies to the architecture of elevations, lighting, and the use of various finishing materials. Podiums will certainly appeal to owners of studio apartments, where the need for zoning space is felt quite clearly. Moreover, for this there is no need to erect partitions or install screens.

Podium in a room of non-standard geometry with a pull-out bed

When installing podiums, there is no need for bedside tables or coffee tables. The area of ​​the elevation usually allows you to place personal items on it. Many people like to sit by the window and watch what is happening. Installed next to the window opening, a wide podium the height of the window sill, which will become its continuation, can be used for relaxation.

A window sill as a seating area differs from a window sill-table or tabletop primarily in height

The only noticeable drawback of podium structures that can be identified is a significant reduction in the height of the room in the area where the elevation is installed. This point may be important if the ceilings in the room are already low, as well as if people living in the apartment are quite tall.

Important! The ceiling height in the room where the podium is installed should not be less than 275 cm.

Podium with a storage system
Also, some difficulty may arise in cleaning the space inside the cavity, especially if there are no flaps that open upward.

Having simple abilities and skills in working with wood, tools, a small amount of free time, and most importantly, your own vision of interior design, you can make a podium bed yourself, without resorting to the services of professional teams.

Podium in a small room

How to make a podium bed with your own hands step by step

Characteristics and description of the dolphin children's bed

Any project starts with a photo idea. The feasibility of which correlates with the existing free space in the apartment for installation and the desired functionality.

Step-by-step instructions for making a podium bed with your own hands will look like this:

1. The free space for installation is measured. Sleeping places are selected for it. Mattresses of standard sizes are cheaper - therefore, whenever possible, the structure is designed for specific dimensions.
2. After the position of the berths has been determined, a diagram of the supporting structure with the necessary partitions and rigidity supports is developed. Storage spaces are planned between them - shelves and drawers.
3. Based on the design diagram of the bed-podium, the type of material is determined (timber, plywood or OSB sheathing, orthopedic grilles, chipboard). Next, an accurate, scaled drawing of the bed-podium is developed based on the size and thickness of the material, preferably using special software.
4. When planning the internal filling of the podium bed with your own hands, try to avoid the formation of “dead” zones. There are many solutions with tilting and lifting mechanisms, don't just focus on drawers.
5. Next, based on the drawing, the detailing (list of parts) is calculated, and an estimate is drawn up for the purchase of fittings, fasteners, materials and necessary components.
6. If you plan to make a podium bed with your own hands from chipboard, then it is better to order ready-cut parts with PVC edges edging the visible sides. Timber and plywood for built-in models will have to be “cut” yourself, which means you will additionally need a jigsaw, a grinder, sandpaper, and possibly a router. As well as paint and varnish consumables for finishing coating, tools for their application.
7. To assemble a podium bed with your own hands, you will need a drill (perforator), a screwdriver with a set of 5.8 mm drills/bits and others (you can read more here), as well as other hand tools.
8. First, the base of the bed and separately the pull-out elements and shelving structures are drilled and assembled. Then the mechanisms and other fittings are attached, and the internal contents are installed.

Since the product itself is quite heavy and is often built in from wall to wall, a lot will have to be filed and adjusted to fit right in the apartment. It would be a good idea to enlist the help of an assistant.

Location options

If the podium bed is designed near a window, the best option is a podium with drawers at the bottom. This placement saves space and adds natural light as the bed rises higher. It is better to remove the radiator from the window, and instead build a special convector into the floor. Thus, the bedroom is divided into two parts, which look great, being in the same color and style. For finishing, you can use environmentally friendly materials made from natural wood or laminate. To visually increase the space, you can decorate the walls with mirror panels or stick photo wallpaper with a beautiful landscape on them.

If the room has a niche or alcove, this is an ideal place to install a classic podium, because in this case there is no need to construct a pull-out bed. It can be simply installed in a niche, additionally equipped with modest necessary interior items, depending on the wishes of the owner. The standard dimensions of the alcove are 2.40 x 2.50 m, which allows you to place a double bed with drawers below.

There are many ways to place a podium on a balcony or loggia, despite the limited space. If the width of the balcony allows, you can put a place to relax on a classic podium. The disadvantage of a cold floor can be compensated for by integrating the popular “warm floor” heating system into the podium. An excellent “two-in-one” method is to place structures along the entire length of the loggia in the form of several wide and durable wooden boxes in which homemade supplies will be stored. In warm weather or if the balcony is properly insulated, place a mattress on top of the drawers - and the sleeping place is ready.

There is a great opportunity not only to build a large podium, but also to install an additional heating system in the room, installing it inside the structure, which will serve both technically and functionally at the same time.

In the children's room

When arranging a children's room, you should, first of all, zoning the room: the child should always have a place to sleep, play and do school homework. Both retractable and classic options can be equally suitable for equipping a children's room. The good thing about a pull-out bed is that there is more space in the room; moreover, when using this option, it is very easy to place the necessary areas in the nursery: the sleeping place itself pulls out, and at the top of the podium there is a study area in the form of a table, chair and several bookshelves. During the daytime, the bed can easily be removed inside the podium, and the child has an ideal space for games.

The option with built-in beds is very convenient if there are two children in the family. Sleeping places in the form of vertical roll-out beds are symmetrically located to the left and right of the podium, the steps are in the middle, and a kind of room with a work area is equipped at the top. During the day, the beds are removed inside, and thus there is enough space for two in the room.

Another good way to arrange a children's room is to place a bed there on a high podium with many drawers where the child can put anything: from toys to school supplies. The room will be provided with both order and sufficient space for games. If the choice is to create a high podium, you can also install a small built-in table with a retractable mechanism, which will be both practical and very convenient.

Podium bed: types, functions, distinctive features

This podium bed will decorate any apartment

Podium beds are gaining more and more popularity today, which is easy to explain: firstly, it is an opportunity to show your originality and style, and secondly, it is a significant saving in living space, so necessary in small apartments.

Such beds are divided into two types:

• With a sleeping place on the podium and compartments for things in a niche under the mattress. The most common option due to ease of installation and functionality.
• With pull-out mattress. Used in apartments with ceilings higher than 3 meters. A work area or rest area is created above the bed.

From the above, the distinctive features of this type of sleeping structure emerge: it is enviable functionality, the ability to combine not only a closet and a place to sleep, but also other parts of the apartment (for example, a window sill). Can an ordinary bed boast this? Unlikely.

The podium bed is also easy to assemble, unloads other closets and makes the apartment look new. Built-in drawers help keep things at hand and at the same time free up space around you: you can put not only bedding in them, but also toys (if we are talking about a crib) or household little things, the location of which will be easy to remember.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Functionality and space saving: the advantage of technical models of podium beds is that the drawers contain boxes, bed linen and clothes that do not fit in the closet.
• Relative cheapness of the product.
• Installation of such a bed is very simple and does not take much time.
• Aesthetically beautiful appearance with proper finishing.

The disadvantage of one and the other type is that they cut the room in height. Living in an apartment with a small area and ceilings of 2.5 meters, it is not advisable to install such a structure. It will not free up space, but will visually reduce the space.

Types of podium beds

Podiums with beds stand somewhat apart from the row of cabinet furniture. The basis of the podium is a frame made of wooden or metal elements. The main load falls on the supporting parts of the frame. Their number and arrangement depend on the area of ​​the structure and the load on it.

Design Features

The shape of the podium can be anything: from standard rectangular or square configurations to polygonal (for example, in the form of a trapezoid) or even rounded. They can be installed in a niche of any geometry, and in a bay window.

Bed with a round platform

Any communications can be hidden in the cavity of the structure, for example, wiring from the lighting of this area. As a rule, the height of the elevation varies between 0.2...0.5 m. High podiums can be equipped with steps, which adds originality to the design . They can be equipped not only with drawers, but also with entire wardrobes with hinged doors. If the height of the room allows, structures can be erected, even rising a meter from the floor.

Is a podium bed a luxury item or a practical interior element?

Important! The steps can also be equipped with drawers, allowing for additional storage space.

By the way, the elevation can be made not only in the form of a box. It can, for example, be a system of shelves that simultaneously serve as steps. This design is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. But, of course, the possibility of organizing places to place things is significantly reduced.

With wide steps

There are two options for podiums.

Using an elevation above the floor surface as a sleeping place . This option allows you to organize a large number of storage spaces in a hollow structure by installing drawers there. In this case, the bed itself is not needed; it is enough to place a comfortable mattress, preferably orthopedic, on the podium. A large double product can comfortably accommodate two people. But, of course, nothing prevents you from installing a full bed on a raised platform.

Pull-out bed with a podium by the window

You can store not only bedding in the drawers, but also clothes, household utensils and other things.

Multifunctional podium used as a bed

The only thing is that, as a rule, they do not occupy the entire length of the space, that is, not the entire internal cavity of the podium is used for its intended purpose. To make optimal use of the space inside the cavity, it is possible to provide rising flaps in the floor of the podium.

Finding the bed inside the podium and pulling it out as needed . Such systems are very convenient for installation in rooms with a small area, since any functional area can be placed on the podium itself. For example, a table for work or study, a play area for children or a place to relax, installing chairs and a TV.

Children's room with pull-out beds

Many people equip part of the room with a podium specifically for a children's room, placing equipment for games and activities on the podium and organizing a pull-out bed for kids. This is convenient, since children need much more space to spend time than adults. Don’t forget about the possible arrival of guests, for whom a mobile sleeping place would be an excellent option.

Podium with a pull-out bed in a children's bedroom

Finishing the elevation can be done in various ways. Often the same materials are used that were used in the flooring. If, on the contrary, there is a desire to emphasize the podium, you can use contrast. Many people like soft upholstery. In this case, it is possible to use carpet or even fur coverings.

Bed accessories

What determines the choice of design type:

• layout and dimensions of the room;
• taste preferences of the owners;
• the purpose of the sleeping place, which determines its size;
• the need for space zoning;
• style concept of interior design;
• material component.

High-tech bedroom

Do-it-yourself podium bed: step-by-step instructions

First of all, you need to choose the place where the podium will be located, make sure that the berth will move out normally, and take into account the diagram to make markings on the floor:

1. Along the perimeter of the structure, fix the racks of beams vertically to the floor, fasten them on four sides using metal corners. The size of the racks must be less than the expected height of the pedestal; this space is required for the timber when making the frame.
2. The beams, which form the top of the frame, are fixed to the racks using metal corners. It is necessary to check that the racks are perpendicular to the floor level, their upper part is horizontal and all parts are securely fastened to each other.
3. Markings are made for the internal drawers, the beams that form their frames are fixed to the bottom of the racks, and lintels are placed on them. Jumpers are not installed all the time, but it is advisable to use them, since they additionally strengthen the structure.
4. If the mattress is located on top of the pedestal, and it will be used exclusively for night rest, you can choose laminated fiberboard for the lining. If the upper part is made of lamellas, then the side parts must extend a few centimeters beyond the horizontal surface, thus forming sides that will fix the mattress. In this case, a small gap is required between the sides and the wall. If the surface of the pedestal is solid and made of fiberboard, then it can be larger than the dimensions of the mattress, in which case the sides are not required. A high panel is often installed at the headboard, which forms the backrest; on the side it can extend beyond the overall dimensions of the structure.
5. For a pedestal that will be subject to increased load, fiberboard is not suitable. Therefore, for retractable elements, cladding is most often made of OSB, and a laminate is laid on top or carpet is used. The plywood is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws, the carpet is fixed with a construction stapler. If a laminate is chosen for the final cladding, then a substrate must be laid between the coating and the base. To further secure and disguise the connections, PVC corners are usually glued around the perimeter.
6. The bed itself is usually made in the form of a box into which a mattress is inserted. The simplest option is to buy a ready-made structure of slats for the mattress, nail the sides and secure the rollers.
7. The bottom can also be made solid. If the dimensions of the podium are quite large, then drawers are installed on the sides of the bed, which are assembled from plywood. It is necessary to clearly measure the angle of the elements that are connected with a square to avoid distortions.
8. The runners are fixed to the sides of the box walls, and the rails are fixed to the frame jumpers. The main thing is to secure the rails and guides at the same height. The boxes must be inserted into their places, make sure that they can move freely, then be removed and numbered. The size of the runners should not be more than 70 cm; if you make the drawer deeper, it will be difficult to pull it out completely.
9. After making the sliding parts, they begin cladding. As a rule, the same material is used for this as for cladding the entire structure, but you can experiment with colors. The front panels must almost completely cover all parts of the frame, without going beyond it. There must be a small gap between the panels of adjacent drawers so that these elements do not catch on each other.

The structure is ready, next you need to put the mattress in its place and insert all the drawers.

There are many options for assembling podium beds. Whether to install this structure in the bedroom or not is up to each person to decide individually. We must not forget that in large rooms the podium will look stylish and elegant, but in a small Khrushchev it will visually make the room smaller.

Beautiful design solutions in the interior

For a small and narrow bedroom, the best option would be a podium bed, which has wide drawers and a couple of steps. The bed is installed on top of the podium (classic option), which provides it with cozy natural light during the day, and at the top you can leave space for a bedside lamp, a floor lamp and several shelves for books.

In a one-room apartment, the type of podium structure will directly depend on the size of the room. If the area is large, you can set aside a part of the room for a sleeping place, which is usually fenced off with a high cabinet or rack with built-in drawers and shelves. The sleeping place is arranged using a regular wide mattress in the upper part, and below you can arrange a compact workplace in the form of a table with drawers. Thus, the podium becomes multifunctional, and a person can do different things while in the same place.

In a “Khrushchev” apartment it is also quite possible to build a simple podium structure, taking into account the peculiarities of the layout of such an apartment. Small area and low ceilings are not an obstacle for those who want to arrange a compact and comfortable sleeping place, but all this must be taken into account when planning the size.

Step-by-step description of making a podium bed with drawers and a sleeping place on top

Making a podium bed with drawers with your own hands is also easy.

Step 1. Selecting material. In our example – 50x100 mm timber and sheet plywood.

The first thing you need to do is choose the material.

Step 2. Tool. See the list from the previous section. We won't need wheels, but we will need guides for the drawers (don't forget to take them into account when calculating the dimensions).

Step 3. Making the frame. For convenience, you can make it in two halves, which will make transportation easier. Or a larger one if you don’t plan to move it anywhere.

The frame can be made of two parts.

Step 4. Installation of drawers. After assembly, we attach the guides to the internal elements of the frame and to the retractable structures themselves.

The crucial moment is the installation of bed drawers.

Step 5. Sheathing with plywood.

A necessary stage in the manufacture of a podium bed is plywood covering.

Step 6. Finishing, decoration. After assembling the podium, sand the outer surfaces with fine-grain sandpaper. Cover with a protective compound, stain.

The finished bed must be sanded and decorated.

You can use floor finishing for decoration.

What should you pay attention to when making structures?

There are several nuances that need to be taken into account.

1. The optimal size of the timber used for the production of the frame is 5 x 5 cm. A smaller one may not withstand the load.
2. The timber must be smooth and dry (as already noted).
3. Before starting work, wood must be treated with a protective compound against biological damage.
4. The optimal distance between the supporting beams is 40...50 cm.
5. If the height of the podium exceeds 0.4 m, you should consider installing steps.

   
   Sometimes steps need to be installed

6. When producing structures, it is recommended to give preference to natural materials. The use of, for example, chipboards for arranging a sleeping area is undesirable, as they can emit formaldehyde.

Installing a practical and inexpensive design in an apartment provides numerous benefits to residents. Simple finishing techniques help to fit the building into almost any interior style. And the possibilities of decorating the elevation allow you to turn it into a real art object.

Create a drawing

Drawings of the podium bed are drawn up based on exact measurements of the room and the planned dimensions of the mattress. Small rooms are simply covered with a podium into parts with different heights; in other cases, the length of the bed (as well as the dimensions of the drawer with the sleeping bed) is adjusted to the mattress. The width of the furniture varies from 1.2 to 1.5 m for children’s models, 1.7–1.9 m for double models. The height of models with drawers of any type varies between 40–70 cm.

Deviations in the smaller direction are not recommended; in the larger direction, they are permissible when installing the bed in a room with high ceilings and strengthening the strength of the frame.

Detailed sketches of beds are made on paper or electronically, using online editors or furniture design programs. If you have no experience, you should use ready-made drawings, scrupulously observing the specified indents and gaps

It is also very important to purchase materials of a given thickness

If it is necessary to change the length or width of the frame, the dimensions of the retractable elements and external facades are simultaneously adjusted. The intervals between adjacent boxes and the specified gaps must remain unchanged. In particular, the width of the drawer placed under the bed in any case should be 2.5 cm less than the box itself, and the minimum permissible distance from the bottom to the floor is 1 cm.

Bedrooms with a podium

A podium for a bedroom can be a cost-effective solution; you don’t have to buy a bed and bedside tables with it. If you place a tall mattress slightly smaller than the podium, the free space around the edges will act as a bedside table.

Bedroom with podium

The design of a round podium, a round bed and a canopy will create an oriental fairy tale from the bedroom. Forged elements, transparent flowing fabrics and colored glass lamps in the Moroccan or Tiffany style will bring special magic to the design of the room.

Podium bed in the bedroom
If a young family without children has a spacious bedroom, a pylon can be installed on a podium located opposite the bed. The husband will eagerly run home from work, and pole dancing will help his wife save on visiting a fitness club without compromising her figure. When offspring appear, such a podium can simply be converted into a home theater, and the metal pipe will go to the nursery to play firemen.

Design Features

Depending on the type of frame, there are two manufacturing technologies: a bed on a podium with drawers or with a pull-out mattress. In both cases, they use available building materials and tools that are in the arsenal of every owner. This means that you can make them yourself. At the same time, the products differ fundamentally not only in installation technology, but also in purpose. Let's take a closer look at them.

With a sleeping place in a niche

The product is a hollow structure that rises 40-70 cm above the main floor level. In the lower part there is a large cupboard. At night they sleep on it, during the day they hide it in a niche. The upper plane above the pull-out bed is actually a raised floor. It is usually used to organize:

• recreation areas;
• work or study space;
• children's playroom

This allows you to create a “hidden” bedroom in any room without compromising its space. If the shape of the room is elongated, you further zone it and add functionality.

Options for arranging a podium in the interior

There are several variations of the installation of the structure:

• Square type - suitable for private rooms, helps to divide the space into several free zones. This approach is used to install multiple cribs and create convenient storage points.
• Rectangular type - belongs to the traditional ones, it is convenient and practical. The structure is placed along the wall, adjacent to it at two or three points. In the latter case, the point is a chest of drawers or an additional closet.
• Corner - installed in close proximity to two vertical surfaces. If the bedroom is installed below, then the play space is on top. In the mirror version, retractable parts are created in the lower part.
