This playhouse is definitely not your little kid's playhouse. This stylized, 80 square foot playhouse - with an eight foot high open ceiling - provides the perfect hangout for your tween. The yellow and blue decor combines classic comfort with a bit of whimsy to please even the most fickle of tastes. Tweens can relax inside, or lounge on the nodular patio, with nearby mosaic pools perfect for dipping toes.

Framed on two sides by the innovative Nanawall® System, allowing the indoor and outdoor areas to become one. This sophisticated playhouse also features a 32" flatscreen TV and LED lighting controlled by an Apple TV media player.

This modern playhouse was inspired by CHOC's new tower, currently being built on the hospital's main campus and featuring leading design and safety principles, a well as advanced technology.
