The clients came to Fern Studio with a clear vision: a dedicated play space for their children that felt like an extension of the home's architecture rather than an afterthought. Set against a backdrop of tall timber and generous natural light, the Lakeside Residence called for something sculptural, layered, and alive — a room where imagination could take hold from floor to ceiling.

Fern Studio responded with a custom play environment built around a bespoke timber play structure clad in sage-painted horizontal paneling, with integrated climbing holds, a crawl tunnel, and an upper platform with railing. A sculptural indoor tree — crafted in natural maple with organic branching arms and soft sage canopy discs — anchors the space and doubles as a built-in bookshelf, grounding the room in a sense of wonder. A lush green turf base ties the zone together, reinforcing the indoor-meets-outdoor sensibility running throughout the home.
