modern kids' playhouse???

I am not having any luck. I want a small structure for our yard where my daughter can play, create art, read or whatever but I don't want it to look like Hansel and Gretel's house or a MiniMcMansion. I want a modern mini studio for my kid to revel in so that I don't have to clean up after her in the house all of the time! But my web search has come up with nothing. Ideas? Thanks in advance.

What about this?

Excellent! Thanks!

Cool! I can totally see it with colored plexiglass panels in place of the clear ones for a kid space.


You'll have to be sure and give us the play by play of construction (maybe a blog?) once you start building. It's on my to-do list for a garden shed at our new place.

We're building the Blazona MD-100 as soon as we get time for the same purpose! We've had the plans for some time and I can't wait to start on it. Please update with photos when you complete it, it would be cool to see what you do with it.

I will post pix and stuff when the time comes.

just out of interest, how many people do you think would pay 3k upwards for some of these sheds ?

I guess that answers my question:laugh:

A link for modern(ish)-friendly swingset/slide:

I am dying to see just how simple the MD-100 construction really is. Do keep us up to date.

That metroplay seems neither modern, nor living up to its advertised purpose (sun protection).

I am looking for anyone in California who has actually built the Blazona MD-100.  I work for a production company called Getty Images and we would like to do a one day still photo shoot about kids playing in a modern playhouse.  If you have built one and are interested please email me at castingla@hotmail.com and be sure to include a picture of the playhouse.  If we decide to work with you we can offer you a location fee of $1000.00 and insurance.  I look forward to hearing from you!
