A micro A-frame playhouse/tiny house/cabin with a moving canopy

Here's a simple sketch for a father/mother-son project we're pitching for a upcoming mini-series for a certain network. The aim is to keep things simple, affordable, colorful, and fun! This one is more or less a tiny A-frame play house, or hut, for kids, that opens up in good weather, and becomes a shack with a canopy. Something like this, on a larger scale, might be great for a mini beach house..... If you ever build something like this, or of any of the concepts, designs, and sketches, I have, and have posted- PLEASE DO SHARE! I'd love to see what you've done! -Deek

A tiny backyard playhouse/bunkhouse concept for ALL ages....

 This is something I've been working on/sketching out ideas on, that could work for both kids and adults. It could either be used as an office in the backyard, or a playhouse, bunkhouse, or small vacation cabin/cottage. Something like this, which would be 8' by 10' in size (or 6' by 8'), would run around $2000, or less, in materials. This tiny, tiny, tiny house would also have a wet bath, or at least a small bathroom set-up for a composting toilet.

TINY GREEN CABIN- A backyard shed/office/and playhouse- you choose....

What more do you need than this, whether kid or adult? What a cool little escape spot, and one with class, AND relaxation, in mind. So many tiny house concepts take things over the top, but this one has a good amount of what I look for, and like, in a simple shack set-up (how's THAT for alliteration!). It would make for a great backyard shed/shedworking office as well...

A tiny, tiny, insanely colorful project house/fort/cabin

A computer generated mock-up of a proposed tiny house, but man oh man, would it make for a really cool kid's playhouse or fort, if scaled down....

A Modern, Color-Paneled, Playhouse/Kid's Clubhouse

A cool modern playhouse/fort from designer/builder Ryan Grey Smith. This could make for a great adult-sized tiny house or small vacation cabin as well- heck, even a really nice treehouse....

A lantern-shaped playhouse/kids fort (bed?)

Check out this lantern-like fort/kids playhouse/clubhouse from Mermelada Studios! Being one who loosely collects lanterns, I can't help but really dig the concept here.... I personally think an adult version of this, in bed form, would be great!

A tiny kids playhouse shaped like an Alien? Q-bert? Spongebob Character?

 This one's called the "Playcave" from the company Nido ("Neato"- get it?)- I'd never fit inside this thing, then again, I'm no kid, but it still is rather slick looking in a simple and bold way. Oh yeah, it is $599, which seems a little painful, but then again, I'm not sure how large this is- its tough to tell. Either way- me like!
