Kids Room by h2o Architecture fThe beauty of the design is that there’s no one way to use the space; the architects let the children determine how to use the different elements of the room.

My dad made his grandchildren this awesome tree house for Christmas. This is me on the zip line.
This is so close to the ultimate tree-house I’ve been designing. My future children will have it!

Over the course of two weeks, the museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of colored dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled explosion of color…
