dutch slides

greg is not lovin' this dutch dream but i think it's fantastic. white on white with a spark of green grass. three pronged slide by richard hutten found in the public spaces at that incredible parkrand building in the western garden cities of amsterdam. the complex contains three so-called outdoor rooms. richard hutten designed a children’s room, a living room and a dining room. these are spaces where residents can rest between the private domain of the home and the public park. um, what i would give to have that in toronto_ this would solve 'where to have the wee ones birthday party' in a split second! although our little bugger lugs b'day is in the depths of 4 feet of snow _ still i could whip me up some designer winter wonderland birthday party there! you dig? oh, toronto_ catch up, catch up!!!!!! and the kid would go bonkers when he saw all those white elephants _ he's the king of all animals be it jungle, desert, farm, zoo, pets, you name it we also have it _ thank you schleich.
