I'm about to consult with an existing customer on building a playhouse. They had been considering a kit (I'm not sure which one) that was $13K for materials, but they want to do something a bit less extravagant. I've already decided the playhouse should _not_ be a kit and should match the main house (on the exterior: simple ornamentation, wood-shingle sided, composition roof, two-story gabled 1917 with many windows).
The two kids are girls, and the older one is now about three +. The father is a surgeon and the mother has an artistic/cultural background. They already have a simple swing set but no additional playground equipment. We're in Kansas City.
Has anybody made or designed a successful playhouse? What features should it have?
