Haptic House is based on the concept of 'sensory play', the dolls' house encourages children to look, listen, touch and feel. A series of components, identical in character, which aim to inspire children, bring the house to life by stimulating the primary senses. 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.
Based on the concept of 'sensory play', Dexter Moren Associates' Doll's House encourages children to look, listen, touch & feel. The House is a series of components, identical in character, which aim to inspire children, bringing the house to life by stimulating the primary senses;
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.
