The Orlando Kaleidoscope logo
Story + Concept
Through the lens of a kaleidoscope, different hues of small trinkets turn and twist to form an image of ordered beauty. Over time, Orlando has and continues to bloom into a collection of people from all around the world who come together to create a vibrant and beautiful home.
Light and color in both their artificial and natural forms combine as a reminder of the spectrum of experiences brought together to form this city and the beauty it creates.
Overview
As a celebration of the past natural wilderness transforming into a city of the future, the Orlando Kaleidoscope guides visitors through a lush interactive garden where nature and light play with visitors. Guests can take multiple paths showcasing local art all leading to the multicolored central structure where engaging programming and top-floor restaurant and rooftop bar allow diners to reflect and celebrate.
