Everyone needs a comforting space where they can recharge and feel safe. Superman™ built the Fortress of Solitude as his secret sanctuary. Now’s your chance to dream up something equally nurturing for yourself. You could even win two tickets to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood in Burbank, California, plus a travel fund (total value: $3,100).
To celebrate the world premiere of SUPERMAN on July 11, 2025, Houzz has partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures to give participants the chance to win tickets to tour the iconic studio. To enter for a chance to win, use the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner to visualize your own SUPERMAN-inspired Fortress of Solitude, a private space for recharging. An internal Houzz committee will select four finalists from the eligible entries, and the winner will be chosen in a public vote. Submissions open June 16 and will close June 30. Community voting will begin July 7, and one voter will also win two tickets to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, plus a travel fund.
Here’s more on how you can wield your design powers toward victory.

1. Make It Feel Like an Extension of the Home
If you’d like to create an outdoor space that feels as comfortable as a room in your home, it’s worth considering the flooring. A soft material underfoot can tempt you out, even before you’ve put on your shoes.
The owner of this yard had a dream of being able to walk out barefoot and be surrounded by plants. “I said, in that case, we need to build you a deck,” landscape designer Pippa Schofield says. Two levels of the soft wood planks are roughly split into dining and lounging areas. “The top deck is nice for having breakfast, then, the way the light goes, the owners use the sofa and lower deck for afternoon and evening entertaining,” Schofield says.
Wood decking was used in this project, but for added durability and ease of maintenance, you could consider composite decking. These wood particle and plastic boards look the same as the wood versions, but without the need to clean off mold or repair areas that have rotted.

Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A young family
Location: Dallas
Size: 201 square feet (19 square meters)
Designer: Jessica Koltun Home
In this new-construction home, the primary bathroom sits between the primary bedroom, seen in the distance, and the primary closet. It measures a little over 17 feet long by 11¾ feet wide. Koltun used double doors at both bathroom entrances. These doors are narrower than standard doors and add Parisian apartment flair.
Koltun composed the room with a drop-in tub underneath a large arched window, serving as a focal point, then bookended it with two vanities. On the opposite side of the room is a generous shower stall, flanked by a makeup table niche and a toilet room.
While the bathroom has classic materials and traditional architectural elements like the double doors and arches, Koltun balanced them with modern touches like the blocky tub surround and minimalist material palette. The result is a transitional style that will stand the test of time.
Wall paint: Pure White, Sherwin-Williams; vanity stain: Birchbark, Sherwin-Williams
