This playhouse was commissioned by two grandparents who take care of their young grandson Anthony, full-time. They wanted to build a place for their grandson to go with his friends, to listen to music, and have his own space. They wanted it to be a space he could use throughout his childhood, and beyond. They also needed the design to be something they could easily build themselves, on a budget, that would tie in with their house.
The design incorporated these requirements, as well as built-in furniture in the 'secret' upstairs area.

When Hope met with their family, she found that the only requirements from Anthony were that we include a secret access hatch, and a porch.
Hope was playful, in the design of this playhouse, nestling it in the middle of bamboo, to allow Anthony to have private space, but yet offer him a sanctuary in nature. She was also able incorporate an easily-accessible 100 sf tool shed into the project too (for grandpa)!
