Child Caves

Opening context:
Adventure Playground, Children’s Home, Children’s Realm, Thick Walls

Conflict

Children love to be in tiny, cave-like places.

Resolution

Wherever children play, around the house, in the neighborhood, in schools, make small “caves” for them. tuck these caves away in natural left over spaces, under stairs, under kitchen counters. Keep the ceiling heights low — 2 feet 6 inches to 4 feet — and the entrance tiny.

Closing context:
Thickening the Outer Walls, Low Doorway
