Formerly a storage closet, this 15' x 20' room with 18-foot ceilings now has spots for reading, building and climbing.
- Climbing panels, a spiral pole, a climbing rope and a foam pit all fit in the room.
Zoom in: The space was designed by Groh Playrooms for a family that moved from New York City to Virginia.
- Wall murals feature both the NYC skyline and a Virginia tree canopy as a way to honor both homes.
Look up and you'll see a fort with a loft net overhead.
- Look lower to find designated spots for reading and tinkering.
