Do Hut is a children’s playhouse designed, built, and raffled to support local charity: Henrico CASA. It provides the opportunity for constructively occupying one’s self without prescribing how one should do it.
Four interactive built-ins transfigure in both form and use to foster a spectrum of static and dynamic activities:
1. Storage Unit / Work Surface
2. Murphy Bed / Chalkboard
3. Window Seat / Chest / Chalkboard
4. Hearth / Chimney / Lookout
Do Hut emphasizes the thoughtful use of modest materials. The room’s structure is a marriage between the orthogonal and the curvilinear, sheathed in color. Its form is an 8’ x 8’ x 8’ box with one radiused edge - springing from an interior datum line that distinguishes wall from ceiling.
