Dream House is a warm and welcoming work of art that is also a landmark and multi-use open space. River Place Plaza, located in downtown Cedar Falls, Iowa, is a meeting point where the two contrasting elements of nature and built environments come together. The Plaza’s left side is urban downtown; on the right side is a river and green space. It’s a place where community members meet and enjoy spending time together.

A white house and cloud-shaped sculpture that is eleven feet high invites people upstairs leading to the plaza from downtown Cedar Falls. Once there, they will be pleasantly surprised to find a small bench at the back. The grass lawn symbolizes the small front yard of a house that invites people to sit and relax. The people of Cedar Falls can sit on the bench and enjoy looking out over the river and landscape at this site.
