One young girl's drawing of her dream cubby house has been brought to life and is now helping children with hearing impairments in Sydney's inner-west.

With the help of volunteer tradies, an illustration of The Royal Palace of Mischief and Magic by seven-year-old Tayla in Whittlesea, Victoria has leapt off the page.

In 11 weeks, the tradies planned and built the magical cubby for the children at the Shepherd Centre in Newtown.

With the help of the centre's therapists, the cubby was designed specifically for the suitability of children with hearing impairments.

It means the space is decked out in a way that encourages children to practice their listening and speaking skills.

By including musical instruments, a puppet show area and a shopkeeper's front, children can practice listening with cochlear implants.

General manager of clinical programs Aleisha Davis said the cubby was amazing in that it honed skills without requiring children to sit at a therapy table.

"Listening is hard for them but the cubby provides an opportunity to learn how to listen and speak like any other child on a playground," she said.

"It is helping the children feel confident in playing with their friends which leads to social inclusion and friendships."

Joe Antonios, a carpenter who was involved in the project with home improvement company hipages, said it was very "interesting" taking a child's drawing, which is pure imagination, and working with an architect to turn it into a real structure.

"It was full of challenges," he said.

"Architects draw things that make sense, kids draw things that don't... but that's what makes it so fun."

The builders stayed very true to Tayla's illustration, even down to the windows sitting a little crooked and the round archway, which proved quite difficult to construct with timber.

"We had to be very creative to make it look like a child's drawing," Mr Antonios said.

He said it turned out better than he expected though and it was all worth it just to see the shock on the children's faces.

"They really appreciated what it was, a lot of the came to me and said 'thankyou so much, that's amazing'.

"It meant so much to them."
