If kids could design and build whole homes, what would they look like? This so-called Rainbow House is filled with secret doors, slides that bridge between floors and multi-colored spiral staircases to wind you back up. Chutes and ladders, anyone?

An over-sized sofa on the main floor ?is designed for bouncing, playing, sleeping and relaxing. As one moves?vertically through the building, each new floor is informed by the colors of the spiral staircase at that level – red and yellow accents spill out and inform white spaces.
