What's included

Everything you need to build it.

Every level is a complete plan — the same thinking that goes into a Full-Service room, ready for your own team.

  1. A design built around your child

    We start with a virtual consultation to understand your child, your space, your priorities and how your family lives. Then we design around them.

  2. Dimensioned floor plans + elevations

    A measured layout showing placement, proportions and key dimensions to communicate the design to your builder.

  3. 3D views of the space

    See how the room comes together before anything is built — from the overall layout to the details that make it yours.

  4. Materials + sourcing

    A coordinated palette of colors and finishes, plus a clickable shopping list with links to specified products and materials.

  5. Design presentation + refinement

    We'll walk through the complete design together, then incorporate one consolidated round of revisions.

  6. Contractor handoff

    We'll walk your contractor through the final design, explain key details and answer questions before the build begins. One handoff call is included.

Who it's for

Made for families who want to build it themselves.

  • Anywhere in the world

    Wherever you live, we design remotely for your child, your home and the way your family lives.

  • You have a builder you trust

    Already have a contractor, carpenter or handy relative? We'll give them a clear, thoughtful design to build from.

  • You love a good project

    Want to bring it to life yourself? We'll do the design thinking so you're not figuring it out as you go.

How it works

We design.
You build.

A simple design process that takes you from first conversation to a complete plan your team can bring to life.

  1. Discover

    A virtual call to meet your family, plus photos and measurements of your space.

  2. Design

    We turn what we learn into a thoughtful design — layering movement, imagination and creativity around your child and your home.

  3. Handoff

    You receive your complete design package, ready for your builder or contractor.

  4. Build + play

    You bring it to life. We're a message away while you build — and we'd love to see the first climb!

We're still here while you build.

After handoffQuestions answered by email while you build — for 60 days after handoff. Small adjustments if something on site needs a rethink. Share the first climb with us. It makes our week.Included

Questions

Good questions.

See all questions
How does E-Design work if you're not in my home?

We'll guide you through taking the photos, measurements and information we need to understand your space. Then we'll meet virtually to get to know your child, your home and what you want the room to do. From there, we design remotely and walk you through the completed plan together.

Do I need my own builder or contractor?

You'll be responsible for bringing the design to life, whether that's with a contractor, carpenter or your own capable hands. For more complex builds — especially custom platforms — we may recommend working with an experienced professional.

Where do I buy everything?

We'll make that easy. Your design includes a sourcing list with links to the products, materials and finishes we've specified so you know exactly what to purchase.

Can you work with any size space?

Yes. Some of our favorite Little Spaces begin with an overlooked nook or corner. Your E-Design option depends more on how much of the room we're designing than the room's square footage.

What happens if my builder has questions?

One contractor handoff call is included, and we'll remain available for design clarification by email or text for 60 days after handoff. If you'd like more ongoing involvement during the build, additional Project Support is available.
