'Pascali Semerdjian Arquitetos' recently designed a family home that provides a whimsical play space for children. When new homes are constructed, architects usually keep the needs of the adult in mind. In contrast, this whimsical family home caters to young children.
The 'Toy House MM01' is a contemporary home located in São Paulo, Brazil. Unlike most homes, this family residence was specifically designed to provide a play space for children. The family wanted to create a space that would be ideal for entertaining and hosting children's parties. The result is a spacious family home that is split into three levels. The lower level features colorful geometric furniture and an entertainment system that can be used for watching movies or playing video games. The upper floor is designed to morph into different configurations based on the family's needs.
The whimsical space demonstrates how architects can balance fun with functionality.
