A couple in Santa Cruz went and built the best childhood oasis one could image. With the help of architects at Incorporated, this bohemian apartment is every kid’s playhouse dream come true.
In a Brooklyn New York household there lived five children all under the age of ten, and their parents wanted to create for them the best possible childhood experience. The parents got together with the mastermind architects over at Incorporated and combined three apartments together. They even took the second kitchen and turned it into a crafts room and turned a spare bedroom into a giant-sized playhouse for the kids.
The project took over ten months to complete and the end result is something truly spectacular. A park-inspired girls bedroom, a double bunk bed with climbing wall for the boys, and an indoor tree house with a blue themed piano living room were added to top it all off.
