Mill Valley Victorian

Mill Valley Victorian glows at the edge of a Redwood grove in blues, greens and a rainbow of accent colors. The Octagon Tower is the heart of the fun, with 2 magnificent Bridges fanning out on either side. Built on the side of a hill, this dynamic play structure is designed to incorporate multi-tiered retaining walls as part of the play space. 

Castle Dragon Theater

Incredible Castle Dragon Theater with hand carved Dragons on either side of the theater stage, guarding the entrance to the mysterious maze behind the backdrop wall.  Up above, the Castle Clubhouse stands between the Turrets, with a stately tree breaking through the deck behind, spreading its lovely branches over the entire play structure.  Too grand to be captured in a single picture.

Castle Cottage

Castle Cottage perches on stilts, a charming wooden playhouse in a dappled courtyard. Tucked into a previously unused part of the courtyard, Castle Cottage has filled the visual void of the neighboring large blank wall. A 2-Story Lookout Tower expands the play area and is reached by a Rung Ladder inside. The Main Playhouse segment has an L-shaped Loft under the Gable Roof of colorful cedar shingles.

Fort Runway

Fort Runway starts at the bottom of a steep hill with a rustic Clubhouse on top of large 12' x 12'  deck with multiple play features and then heads up hill with a series of challenging and fun "obstacle course" straight and swinging bridges and rope net climbs. Go outside and play takes on a Raiders of the Lost Ark feeling with Fort Runway!

Portola Valley Lookout

Portola Valley Lookout was featured on Evening Magazine of San Francisco's KPIX TV. Barbara broke through an existing deck railing near the playroom of the family's home and then built steps up to a small Platform over the pathway below (so the path would remain usable). From the Platform, a 10-foot Swinging Bridge connects to a Hexagonal Tower with a Turbo Tube Slide. A fun, new approach to integrating play structure and home.
