If you have two children who need their own backyard play space, along with the quick ability to access a swing-set and slide, the Curtailed Condo starts to look quite appealing.
This homely, 7x7 design has been designed with two separate play spaces; one on the lower and one on the upper level, while at the same time not taking up too much space in your backyard. Of course, visiting is just a quite trip up a ship ladder, which then lends you the ability to raise a bucket, or head down the slide. Seven total glass shed windows can be added to allow plenty of light, and the optional swing-set can make this clubhouse one cool backyard playground!
