Dwell's Little "e" Playhouse will be at Dwell on Design!

 

Check out the Dwell® Little “e” Playhouse - the Little “e” stands for eco, environment, energy, educate

 

Discover and explore the possibilities of imagination and the environment! Our multi-layer sustainable playhouse features elements of green building lifestyle that benefits our earth’s future! A three dimensional spatial experience for children (and fun loving adults) gives the opportunity to discover space and form with places to climb through, over, within, and under.  

 

Powered by the sun (and fun), solar panels collect the energy needed to power a rainbow selection of LED lights illuminating the night sky in a gentle glow. Meters and gauges allow the children to see energy that is captured by the panels and stored for power. The paints and oils used are healthy for their lungs and the “green roof”, made of non-toxic materials, adds insulation and introduces the idea of water retention. Make every exploration “e” inspired! The little “e” was designed and Build to benefit Rebuilding Together Peninsula through the Dreams Happen program.
