Some kids just want something... different.  A playhouse that's unlike anything else, and would only seem appropriate in a painting.  A contrast from the same old, same old.

If diverging from the normal play structure is appealing to your family, the Picasso Playhouse was made with you in mind.  Designed from the ground up to be disjointed in all the best ways, this concept defies the norm, while not being overwhelming from a cost and difficulty preservative.

Despite it's appearance, there are still the basic creature comforts to be had.  An open front porch provides a secure spot for a small table, chairs and other outdoor items.  The large windows provide an abundance of natural light, and the high ceilings allow adults to get in on the action with ease.  All together, it'll make for a great family art and play project.

If this concept has wet your appetite, be sure to also check out our other eccentric playhouse designs too!
