This playhouse installed at Denenchofu Elementary School in Tokyo is a miniature Veneer House designed at the scale of children. It is a place where children can cheerfully gather and play. Because of its small size, this Veneer House was made from 3’ x 6’ plywood sheets rather than normally used 4 x 8s. Children were able to assemble furniture for the playhouse themselves using pieces cut out from wall and ceiling boards, turning the structure into a friendly house with an expressive face.
