Modern Minimalist Playhouse Plan

Are you looking for a different take on your next family project?  How about a kid's playhouse without doors or front walls?  The Modern Minimalist plan offers a modern twist to the traditional playhouse layout by providing an open and inviting framework that allows kids to play and connect with ease.

Twin play spaces, with an asymmetrical design augments the way children interact, and allows them to have dual themes or functions under one, or two combined roofs.  The revealed front also allows much more natural light to come through and extends the lifetime use, keeping the kids from outgrowing it too quickly.
