One example of this trend is the residence of the Stone family in Taiwan, designed by Hao Design. The main room in the house is not an ordinary living room, but a space that is more like a children's playground. The main purpose of the four Stone was to create a home in which their two daughters would be comfortable to play and learn. In the middle of the spacious room is a large wooden table - the center of all basic home occupations. Here is a wooden children's slide, which also serves as a bookshelf. It is easily dismantled: it can be quickly assembled and free up space.
