St. Augustine Lighthouse Replica Playhouse


15' Tall Children's Playhouse for the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. I designed this beaut in BobCAD/CAM and used a 5'x10' CNC router to cut out all sheathing and trim. Five 4'x10'x3/8" cellular PVC panels were machined on both sides to create the appearance of brick on the outside, and allow a kerf (a series of grooves spaced about one inch apart) to be placed on the inside to accomodate the curvature of the underlying frame. A ladder leads to a loft where children can see out the top through a periscope. Curved acrylic windows. Hurricane-resistant.
Approximate retail price: $15,000.
Background in this image was added in Photoshop.
More images on the way including construction and interior shots.
