Barbie is one of the most anticipated movies of the Summer, and fans are often clawing for any bit of information they can get on the film. Now, Architectural Digest has revealed the versions of the iconic Barbie Dreamhouse that was made for the movie.

As well as the garish pink that'll hit you like a truck, you may notice that Barbie's Dreamhouse is incredibly open, allowing anyone to look in and see pretty much every part of her home. "There are no walls and no doors," said director Greta Gerwig. "Dreamhouses assume that you never have anything you wish was private—there is no place to hide."

Production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer worked together in designing the Dreamhouse, taking inspiration from Palm Springs as they strove to make Barbie feel as real as possible but still separate from our world.

The designers even ordered their own Barbie Dreamhouse to try and learn more about it. "The scale was quite strange," Spencer said. Gerwig added: "The ceiling is actually quite close to one's head, and it only takes a few paces to cross the room. It has the odd effect of making the actors seem big in the space but small overall."
