Are you looking for something a little less, conventional?  Perhaps a little on the whimsical or even wild side?  The "Kooky Koop" playhouse plan, with it's wacky angles and whimsy aesthetic, was designed to bring out a bit of that childhood wonderment many of us parents and grandparents would love experience again through the next generation.

The overall all look of the Kooky Koop can be described as "caricaturistic retro-modernism".  The four walls that make up the main structure all lean away from the center, causing the playhouse to grow in size the higher up it goes.  In addition to it's asymmetrical door and windows, you're left with a crooked and cartoonist design every kid couldn't help but fall in love with.

The Kooky Koop easily falls into our full size category by providing a total of 280 square feet of play space spread out over two stories and a fully wrap around porch.  Perfect for larger families or children who like their space.  If you're up for the challenge of making a few more cuts, the Kooky Koop playhouse is a true backyard escapade few others can match.
