Para su diseño se inspiraron en la vida doméstica y en los cambios en las costumbres cotidianas y familiares, - cuestiones que también inspiran sus trabajos en el campo de la fotografía y la arquitectura -, así como en las sugerencias y en la experiencia con sus propios hijos. Su propuesta obedece a la necesidad de jugar con casas de muñecas inspiradas en nuevas ideas o conceptos. Los autores de la Casa Kaleidoscope pretenden, con sus deslizantes transparencias e imágenes cambiantes, ofrecer nuevas y coloristas posibilidades de juego.
The Kaleidoscope House came out of our shared interests in domesticity and in particular the changing practices of home and family. Our individual work in photography and architecture has focused on these issues, and the promptings of our respective children have often figured in our thinking. Clearly, there is a need for a new dollhouse in the family playroom. Our hope is that The Kaleidoscope House with its sliding transparencies and changing aspects will view give a colorful view into new playful possibilities.
