Tubular! Playhouse embraces a child’s sense of imagination, the kind that can turn a series of cardboard boxes into a castle or a spaceship.  While cardboard boxes are dynamic in their configurability, we opted for a dynamism in the spaces created by rectilinear structures.  This is evidenced in the primary tubular volume, reinforced with cross-bracing and clad with louvers to provide a sense of enclosure; which can be inhabited from within, underneath, and on top.  A smaller, colorful tube allows for alternate transversal of the structure.
