Kids Under Cover Cubby House Challenge
"CUBBY LIFE" COMES TO LIFE!!!
Ducon has teamed with architects Six Degrees to design, build and donate a unique cubby house called "Cubby Life" to raise funds in the flight against youth homelessness.
A cubby house is much more than place for pint-sized people to play. It creates an imaginative space where kids can dream, learn, invent, create and grow.
'Cubby Life’ – Ducon and Six Degrees’ entry in the Kids Under Cover ‘Cubby Challenge’ – is a sanctuary that kids can retreat to, a place of their own where the screen world is unplugged. Its innovative, sustainable design encourages kids to commune with nature, to interact with the space and to let their imaginations run free.
Ducon works closely with architects and clients, using a ‘common interest’ approach in which each is a valued partner in the delivery of exceptional results. Like Ducon, Six Degrees has a people-oriented philosophy, so a collaboration that enriches the experience of childhood is a perfect endeavour, with designer and builder bringing their specific skills and common interest to the service of kids.
Thank you for supporting the Kids Under Cover Cubby House Challenge 2012. By doing so you are helping to prevent homelessness, changing the lives of young people and helping them to reach their full potential.

Kids Under Cover
Kids Under Cover is a not-for-profit organisation that works to prevent homelessness by building homes and providing scholarships and mentors for homeless and at-risk young people.
Our vision is for all young people to have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Kids Under Cover builds one or two bedroom fully demountable studios (with bathroom) in the backyard of the family or carer's home. In this way, the studio allows families to stay connected, eases the pressure of overcrowding and provides the young person with a secure and stable environment in which to grow into healthy adulthood.
While living in a Studio, the young person is also eligible for a Kids Under Cover Scholarship which offers financial assistance to enable them to continue their education.
When the studio is no longer needed, it is simply dismantled and moved to another family in need. Kids Under Cover Studios last approximately 20 years and can be relocated multiple times.
