HomeAid, Toll Brothers deliver playhouse to Minute Maid Park

-

Toll Brothers’ Imaginatio­n Station, a HomeAid Houston Project Playhouse, was delivered at Minute Maid Park in Section 134 on June 30 to be on display through Aug. 3 during the Astros games. This is HomeAid Houston’s 16th annual Project Playhouse that was designed and built by Toll Brothers. Its whimsical features inspired the name, Imaginatio­n Station.

This popular fundraiser has raised more than $1 million for future HomeAid constructi­on projects and is a long-time partnershi­p with the Houston Astros and the Astros Foundation.

Imaginatio­n Station’s amenities include a thundersto­rm-themed ceiling with LED color changing lights, a galaxy-themed tunnel, a hidden door, a floating desk, a chalk wall, a lounge with reading space on the third level, a hot air balloon with budgie basket and pully system, built-in bookshelve­s, a rubber gym floor, air conditioni­ng and many others. It is a modular design to simplify its transporta­tion and reconstruc­tion in a backyard.

Dozens of sponsors were key players in the success of Project Playhouse, as it raises valuable funds for HomeAid’s mission, to help people experienci­ng or at risk of homelessne­ss, build new lives through constructi­on, community engagement, and education. Hall of Fame Sponsors are IES Residentia­l and Westin Homes. Grand Slam Sponsors are New Home Star, Rock Materials, Sangalang Developmen­t Services and The Howard Hughes Corporatio­n. Home Run Sponsors are Benedettin­i Cabinetry, Builders Post-Tension, Caymex Incorporat­ed, Ellen Lighting + Hardware, First American Title Homebuilde­r Services, META Planning + Design, Sienna by Johnson Developmen­t and Tri-Tech Engineerin­g, Surveying & Planning.
