Under-stair secret playrooms, custom outdoor playhouses engineered for Colorado weather, and indoor climbing walls: creative, safe environments built to inspire play and discovery.
The Colorado Handyman builds Whimsicool Custom Play Spaces: creative, safe, and imaginative environments designed to inspire play and discovery for children of all ages across the Pikes Peak region.
We transform under-utilized spaces into secret reading nooks, miniature dollhouses, hidden headquarters, and imaginative hideaways with custom lighting, built-in shelving, and themed finishes. This work is especially popular in the two-story floor plans common throughout Briargate, Northgate, and Wolf Ranch. No PPRBD permit is required, since it’s classified as interior finish work.
We build these playhouses to the same architectural standards as a full-size home, with proper footings set below the 30-inch El Paso County frost line, structural framing engineered for heavy snow loads, and weather-resistant materials that withstand Colorado’s UV intensity and hail exposure. We also offer HOA-compliant designs for communities like Cordera, Flying Horse, and Meridian Ranch.
Soft-close hinges, rounded edges, non-toxic finishes, and structural reinforcement throughout. All climbing elements use commercial-grade holds with proper safety matting. Playground opening gaps follow ASTM F1148 standards: under 3.5 inches or over 9 inches, so a child’s head can’t get trapped.
