Housemade "House" by Galeano Poggi

Believe it or not, this is a picture of children playing in an actual playhouse - not a ramshackle cabin - created by architects Carolina Galeano and Francisco Poggi. While I'm not sure how much this costs, at first I was relatively certain that a trip to Home Depot to pick up some plywood and nails would save you a pretty penny for something similar. Then I took a look at the design of this playhouse on the Galeano Poggi website and found the whole structure to be pretty unique and impressive.
The structure consists of a cube built from 10 wooden square frames and a tin roof. Each side has an entry or exit, each window serves as some form of a table and most parts are somehow movable, "allowing a fluid outside-inside relation." It also comes in a doll house sized puzzle (below). This image pretty much captures what the larger, kid sized version of the structure looks like - pretty neat.
