The Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse
The design of The Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse is to meet the child’s need for imaginative play whilst being a feature in the garden in its own right.
The curvy lines and arched windows give the house a fairy tale quality. The twin spires and forked flags swinging gently in the breeze put one in mind of a knight’s encampment. Its ambiguous form transforms effortlessly from cottage to castle wigwam to igloo.
Small children love to find such an intriguing structure in their garden and quickly make it their own.
I hand make the playhouses in England from natural english willow. This gives the playhouse impeccable environmental credentials.
