As they describe their houses, the children place model houses on a dome covered with a floorcloth of streets and gardens. As day turns into night the floorcloth is pulled upstage, giving the impression that the world is turning. The design for the floorcloth and the individual houses was adapted from artwork produced in primary and secondary workshops delivered by Becs Andrews and Matt Deely.
