At Castle and Cubby, we believe in the extraordinary potential of collaboration with our clients and we take pride in our ability to work hand in hand with businesses and educators, bringing their imaginative product concepts to life.
We understand that your ideas and dreams have been a driving force behind our continuous growth over the last decade. This collaborative journey allows us to craft exceptional and truly unique play products that facilitate heartfelt connections.
If you're interested in making adjustments to one of our existing products, we're here to collaborate with you to tailor it to your specific needs.
Please note that our inventory systems are primarily built around pre-designed products with detailed build sheets. Adapting these products might involve some additional effort, but we're fully committed to working through the process with you. As a result, a modest fee may be necessary, and we'd be happy to provide you with a quote for this service.
Castle & Cubby has thrived on the dreams and imaginations of both our team and our cherished clients for over a decade. Together, we've shared the vision of crafting imaginative play spaces that ignite creativity and sensory exploration. We love hearing our clients' ideas and, when feasible, turning them into reality!
If your idea aligns with our mission or introduces innovative play concepts we hadn't yet explored, we're all ears and most likely will want to explore the idea in more detail with you.
Let's dream and build together!

Our in-house product design process is a creative journey that starts with a team brainstorming session. We use idea boards and gather notes, even involving our own kids for their unique insights. Once we align on a vision, we create CAD plans to estimate materials and customer costs. If everything fits the bill and stays budget-friendly, we move on to prototyping. Our workshop team provides feedback to ensure the design is not only innovative but also easy to flat-pack and assemble. This collaborative process ensures our creations bring joy to every play space.

BIG 4 Caravan Parks in Tweed Heads reached out to us with a dream to build a food truck for the visitors to their park to enjoy. Coincidentally, this style of cubby house was already on our product roadmap for the year ahead!
We promptly moved it to the top of our list, and our entire team got to work designing, prototyping, and testing it with our own kids before making it available for families and children to enjoy for years to come. This new product has been a resounding success, and we eagerly look forward to more such innovative ideas!
The entire team at Sunrise Christian Schools has become like a second family to us over the past few years.
Their dedication to creating inspired play spaces for their multiple early learning facilities is truly inspiring. Our partnership with them is genuinely collaborative, with Mark and his team consistently providing a continuous flow of ideas and valuable insights into design aspects to make our products more user-friendly and enjoyable.
We were deeply touched by the video they created to showcase their dedication and our relationship. Please take a moment to watch it!
The team at Stomping Ground Brewery first engaged us for their venue in Collingwood, Victoria, when we were still a relatively small business. Collaborating with interior designers for this location, we developed a unique design that perfectly complemented their aesthetic. Many years later, the play space we created there is still bustling with children.
When they opened their second venue in Moorabbin, Victoria, they invited us back to design a completely new space that harmonized with the aesthetics of this location. We believe we hit the mark!
