2012 DISCOVERY POD

This one of a kind design incorporates modern details to allow children an interactive experience. With a chalkboard interior wall, plexi-glass shadow boxes for display, insect viewing boxes, and mezzanine viewing deck with operable windows for ventilation – children have an opportunity to display and play. The window seat serves as a perfect reading cubby. The wood planked floor space leaves plenty of room for activities, such as an art table, while the adjacent wall doubles as storage space for art supplies or whatever else they may want to store! Kids will have the opportunity to climb a ladder while peaking through windows of different sizes on their way to the mezzanine clerestory. While on the ground floor, children will be able to view through to the ground below to an owner supplied koi pond or sand box.
