Adhering to the early 1960s theme, the Parr home is a study in mid-century architecture with some odd futuristic twists, like the washing machine with a clear plastic dome, and a TV that mashes a contemporary wide screen with a vintage console. Though the house is comfortable in most respects, the filmmakers still needed it to suggest an imperfect fit for the extraordinary family. As technical director Rick Sayre puts it, “Bob is a superhero stuck in his own suburban fortress of solitude.”
