Inspired by the classic cartoon Tom & Jerry from the 1940s, this fun vacation home for a family with four children features lots of space to run and hide.

A mirrored film attached to the ceiling makes anyone playing on the nets feel like they’re floating on air when they look up, visually expanding the space. Even the bedrooms are playful, with unexpected upside-down cutouts and tunnels leading to the common areas.
