Coffeeshop + Playscape coming soon
MUDLAND is a new kind of playspace for children coming soon to Portland, Oregon.

MUDLAND will feature a futuristic terain with dirt and a stream, and natural materials to play with indoors. We'll have delicious coffee and snacks, a cozy reading nook, and an inviting play landscape for crawling babies. there will be an area for changing play installations designed by artists.

MUDLAND is a cross between a design-y café, a nature play area, and an interactive art museum for children.
