A place for fire, storytelling and playing - the perfect stage for a kids world, where real life and imagination play equal parts. This big fireplace is located in Trondheim in Norway and my heart alway jumped a beat when I discovered it at the wonderful Playspaces blog. It's designed by Haugen/Zohar architects and was designed and build on a limited budget, and by recycling materials. It's cozy and cute and warm and magical, and who wouldn't wont to go inside and play or just sit down and listen. It's a bit like a mixture of a indian tent and snowhouse, and it also reminds me a little bit of a Hersey kiss to be quite honest.
There is more to life then meets the eye, and nobody understands that better then kids.
The structure in inspired by the Norwegian turf huts and old log construction. It's made out of 28 pieces of naturally impregnated core of pine that are placed with various spaces to assure chimney effect and natural light.

This is such a cool structure! I'll bet the light does some very cool things by casting patterns inside and out.
wow, what a beautiful structure. i would live in there and invite you to wear flower crowns with me! :)
That is amazing, and it looks so cozy. I'd take a blanket, some cozy pillows, and a cup of tea - and you'd never be able to get me to leave. You're right, it does look like a Hersey kiss.
I love this - it looks like a nest for humans! Kids must LOVE it, as it's the ultimate hideout for them (although I could easily use one myself as a chill-out zone). Jen x
Oh my gosh, that is beautiful! I want one in my backyard!
The top image is truly magical, makes me feel like a child.
This is amazing! My two-year old son, looking over my shoulder, also thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Wow, this is amazing! So cozy and warm, I could spend all day in there with a good book. And maybe a pillow for a nap. Kids must really love this, when I was little I liked nothing more than to make little forts and hideouts and spend hours in them!
This is so cool and beautiful, wish I had one! But where can I put it? Anyway, I might even put it in the middle of my living room, and I will bring my favorite things in and stay there to enjoy my happy time!
