New York design studio Snarkitecture is celebrating a decade of projects with an exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington DC, which includes a white gabled house and a kidney-shaped ball pit.
The Fun House installation marks 10 years since Snarkitecture ? run by artist Daniel Arsham, and architects Alex Mustonen and Ben Porto ? was founded in Brooklyn.

Extending down the National Building Museum's soaring Great Hall, it comprises a model home with a front yard and a back garden, all enclosed by a picket fence.
Everything is white, providing a suitable backdrop for the studio's typically monochrome designs, of which 42 are on show.

"Part museum exhibition and part immersive environment, the project invites visitors to explore Snarkitecture's past installations, furniture and objects," said Mustonen. "In keeping with our goal of making architecture accessible and engaging, we look forward to introducing a new audience to Snarkitecture's work and practice."

In the front yard, large letters are laid on the floor and spell out the exhibition's title. The same typeface was used by the studio to spell out A Memorial Bowing at Miami's Orange Bowl Stadium, for an installation in 2012.

Set behind this, the pitched house appears like a stereotypical residence from the front. But the cladding along the side walls gradually disintegrates to reveal the wooden structure underneath.

The front door and surrounding walls also appear to be crumbling...
