Kaleidoscope House - Mirrored Interior
The balustrade of staircase is covered by reflective metal and when it rises, the mirrors will move closer together, increasingly offering up the interior views like those in a funhouse.

Apart from the visual effects, an additional benefit of the mirrors is that these mirrors will spread light throughout the house. The winters in Toronto have short days with limited sunlight, so the inside of Kaleidoscope House smartly maximizes the natural light. Furthermore, the house’s outside will feature slats that spread sunlight inward throughout the remaining hours of the day while blocking up the sun’s heat at its strongest.

Its strong contemporary exterior will be integrated into an urban setting, with physical and visual connections to its space of garden. From the street, this house is punctuated by large windows, making the great impression of a low-relief sculpture.

The signature design piece of this home is a remarkable staircase, unifying the home from the ground floor to the upper floors. The staircase shows a reflective face, the other translucent one, designed to reflect natural light and various views, to generate a complex play.
