We were commissioned to build a playhouse for a client’s lucky little girl. This playhouse was constructed the same as a full size custom home.

  • Starting off with a solid foundation, using Pier & Beam construction is the first noticeable attribute of this playhouse.

  • All the framing of this playhouse is put together exactly like a real home. Even "Hurricane Steel" is used.

  • Using the same techniques, just on a smaller scale, the construction continues. This is one playhouse that will last for a long time

  • The front of the house has some interesting attributes, the front door was custom made, specs provided by Smith Custom Builders to fit this tiny home. The door measures 5 foot 8 inches tall and only 28 inches wide. All of the exterior trim and widow coverings were custom made in our woodshop.

  • Adding the finishing touches on the exterior includes a front porch with porch rails. It all comes down to the detail, one of Smith Custom Builder's fine points.

  • Fish cut cedar wood shingles accent this lovely playhouse. Underneath is a sheet of Kool Ply Decking - "This should keep the light bill down."



  • Accent pieces were custom made in Smith Custom Builders’ woodshop.

  • Working windows




  • Air conditioned
  • Working phone lines
  • Vinyl flooring

 

  • Interior accented with pastel colors. Faux painting and custom curtains to match.

 

 

  • We framed the little home with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.
