Unlike conventional Doll's House design, the 360-degree access means there are no defined rules of how it should be played -inviting the option of group play or individual discovery.

Sight -­‐ motion sensors trigger the illumination of coloured Perspex blocks Sound -­‐ doorbells are fitted to 'push' building blocks Touch -­‐ material-­‐covered blocks use bright, patterned, tactile fabrics

The units stack atop of one another just like building blocks to create a playful form that, with a reflective base, creates the illusion of soaring tower. Each open block unit is an unrestricted form that offers children a platform to imagine without limits. Rather than being overwhelmed by unfamiliar shapes children are given a sense of place & sanctuary to fully engage their senses.

Unlike the conventional Doll's House design, The House' 360-­‐degree access means there are no defined rules of how it should be played or interacted with -­‐inviting the option of group play or individual discovery.
