Unleash creativity and imagination with the Picasso’s Playhouse Plan, a 13×15-foot whimsical play structure designed to break the mold of traditional playhouses. Featuring a crooked, angular aesthetic, this playhouse encourages children aged 2–12 to explore and engage in a space that feels like a living work of art. Despite its unconventional design, it offers 96 square feet of usable play space, large windows for natural light, and a high ceiling that allows adults to join in the fun.
This DIY project is accessible for families seeking a unique backyard addition without overwhelming complexity. The plan includes a 45 page, step-by-step PDF guide, framing details with 2x6 joists and rafters, and a 216-square-foot roof area.
