Built like a home, because it is one

Little Dream House is a team of craftsmen who build playhouses the way we would build any structure meant to last, with sound framing, real materials, and finish work you would expect in a home. Every commission is designed around a single idea: give her a place that is beautiful and lasting.

  • Built by hand to last

    Framed, sided, and roofed the way a full-scale home is built, not assembled from a kit, and engineered to stand up to years of play.

  • Crafted for play & beauty

    Every design is drawn to be as beautiful to look at as it is to play in, with considered proportions, storybook details, and room built for real imagination.

  • Every finishing touch

    Real windows, working doors, and finish carpentry designed for imaginative play, delivered with fresh flowers for her first day home.

A footprint perfect for play

Our general 8' by 4' floor plan is spacious for little homeowners and properly-sized for back yards.
