THE RELIC

Many people will have fond memories of playing in their own or a friend’s cubby house as a child. Created by Porter Davis, is all about old things brought to life in the new world. It strives to recapture innocence and wonder through exploration and discovery. The design takes the most prosaic typological form that defines the familiar cubby house motif and reorganises how children might respond to it. Here, Porter Davis has turned cubby house design on its head, quite literally. At first glance, you see a cubby that looks like it has been pushed on its side. Covered in hanging plants, the entrance is through what looks like the exposed base of the house. The idea is that the cubby house is the home of childhood memories. This creative cubby aims to capture elements that will won Australia’s Best Cubby in 2016.
