A Teepee in a Box sounds like the beginning of a myth or legend. But it's just that - a surprise teepee in a box. Or rather its designed to feel like a teepee once you crawl inside and have a look for yourself!
Blackfish
Homes is taking part in the Canfor Playhouse Challenge in support of
Habitat for Humanity. A diverse group of architects teamed with builders are
creating the most unusual and remarkable children's playhouses
which will be on display at the PNE and then auctioned off with the proceeds aimed
at affordable housing for families in BC through Habitat for Humanity.
Architect Michael Green from Michael Green Architecture,
designed the Teepee in a Box with his 11 yr old son who came up with the concept. And it's not
"just" a playhouse - the combination of structure, design and material, it could
also be a construed as a piece of art. Whatever your thoughts are on the play structure it's beauty most definitely lures your interest.
It's a privilege to be working with Michael who has a reputation
for being innovative and who has a passion for building with the environment at the forefront of his designs. Furthermore, working on a project that will ultimately benefit Habitat for Humanity is an honour for all of us at Blackfish Homes.
