I designed and fabricated this project as a way to provide my daughter with a combination of two pieces of furniture. My daughter had been asking me to build her a dollhouse for some time, but I wasn't completely sold on the idea. I thought that a doll house would be nice, for a time, but would eventually end not being used and taking up space. The idea for this project came about from trying to design a multipurpose doll house. Eventually, I got the idea to combine the basic shape of a doll house with the size and proportions of a typical book case. The combination of the two would provide my daughter with a play house, while she was younger, and then a bookcase as she grows.
