Play House


This was a small model I did for fun. It is a child's play house that includes lots of different elements. It has a sandbox in the bottom, a climbing wall, slide and swings surrounding it, and inside it has bunks for camping (for pretend or for real) and a hatchway to the lookout roof.

The various gates can be locked depending on the ages of the kids who are using it. This way a variety of ages can enjoy it and it remains a challenging toy even as the children grow a bit older.

Like all my models, if you have Sketchup installed, you can download this from the "My Models in the Warehouse" link that is under "Useful Links".

Salem Towne House


An example of the center hall Greek revival, the leading progressive design of America in the 1790s, where each room is designed to impress, but this one is modernized for today's family. For social occasions it features the traditional entryway, large dining room and formal living room. But when it's just the family at home, the massive master suite pampers the heads of household and also leaves plenty of room for the kids and house guests. Whether entertaining or just at home, everyone congregates in the heart of the home anyway; which in this case is in the natural spot: the extremely large eat-in kitchen that is strategically positioned on top of the two car garage.
