Charmed Playhouse is a luxury playhouse manufacturer based in Alberta, Canada.
History[edit]
The company was founded by Tyson Leavitt who previously worked as a landscaper. He was inspired by the large, empty yards of many of his clients' properties, and "wanted to build something for [his] kids".[1][2] Leavitt was also inspired by a playhouse that his father had built for himself and his siblings as children. He collaborates with his wife Audrey, known as Audy, who is an interior designer.[3][4] The company was the subject of a reality television show called 'Playhouse Masters' that aired on TLC and Animal Planet.[1]
Playhouses[edit]
The company's structures include castles and pirate ships and are often themed around fairytales such as Snow White, Rapunzel, and Peter Pan. The playhouses are finished to include details such as fireplaces, wainscoting, chandeliers, spiral staircases, furniture, and electricity. The cost of an individual playhouse can exceed $500,000.[5] Each design is custom illustrated before construction in the company's private workshop, and the building process can take several weeks to several months to complete.[6][3] The cottages themselves are made of wood and hand-carved polystyrene foam.[7]
The company has designed for clients in North America, the U.K., China, and Mexico. Select notable clients include Stephen Curry, Kevin Jonas, Ali Landry, Alana de la Garza, Theoren Fleury, Jason Day, and Ryan Zimmerman [2][1][8][9][5] They have also made playhouses for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.[3]
Resort[edit]
In July 2020, the company announced that it would be building a resort where each cabin will have a different theme, including Peter Pan, the Vikings, and Rapunzel.[2][5] The buildings will be full-sized for adults and children and will accommodate up to six people. The company opened a trial cottage in southern Alberta that booked up more quickly than anticipated. The resort will also be open year-round.[7] In March 2021, Charmed collaborated with students from Lethbridge College to design and virtually animate several of the resorts' buildings.[10]
