Barbie Dreamhouse

In 2023, physical versions were built in Malibu and at studios in Great Britain to promote the 2023 Barbie film, which led to a pink paint shortage.

[2] Mattel debuted the Dreamhouse in 1962, three years after Barbie hit the market, and at a time when it was rare for a woman to own her own home.

[7] Shortly thereafter, a 25,000 sq ft "Barbie Dreamhouse Experience" exhibit was opened near Alexanderplatz in downtown Berlin from May 16 to August 25.

“Barbie was a dream client because she doesn’t exist as a person,” Adler said to the San Diego Union Tribune.

[13] The home, spotted on June 25 by a CBS Los Angeles photojournalist, contains a slide, "Kendom Saloon," roller rink, and pool with big letters floating in the water that spell “KEN.” According to the listing, the host is Ken and a concierge will provide meals and tours.

[15] The set of the 2023 film Barbie, at the Warner Brothers Studios lot near London, is several pink buildings with no windows nor doors.

[2] Director Greta Gerwig told Architectural Digest “We were literally creating the alternate universe of Barbie Land."
