form and function       

With both small children and a couple of cars, these clients desired to build a new garage but couldn't sacrifice much play space in their relatively small back yard in North Chicago. 

A lighthearted color scheme and quaint design incorporated both requirements.

• Carpeted playhouse with cupola and dormers above garage

• Access ladder trellis and entry dormer

• Parents can keep an eye on the kids through a dormer which has a direct view to the kitchen in the main house.
