Pop-up houses

As we're still in the design stage of our Three Corner project, we're thinking about what different materials we could use to create fixtures for our pop-up events. I've come across some lovely card houses which got me thinking that although card isn't ideal, it may be good for the pop-up event as it cuts down on the installing time, not to mention costs (somebody please give us funding! :-) These are obviously all small scale so just try to imagine yourself sitting inside a much, much bigger version with a cup of hot milk and a freshly baked cookie!


I also came across the image of the 1950s pop-up doll's house below. I love the illusion the 2D vs 3D creates - would love to attempt an oversized version for the Three Corner pop-up! C
