Style Guide

The group had a meeting with Jared earlier this week to discuss our progress so far. Jared helped us define the style our designs seem to be steering towards which is a combination of a 60's villa, a looney tune structure, and a tikki lounge! We have all designed our rooms full of curves, rounded edges, swirls, bending architecture, and bright colours. Below are some useful references to the style we have adopted....

60's Villa - resc

We want to capture the feeling of a luxury built villa, with its balcony's, fountains, pillars, arches, terracotta tiled roof, palm tree surroundings, blue sky etc. I also love the colours they are painted - simple pale pinks, oranges, creams or even just plain white are common villa pallets.


Looney Tunes

Jared picked up on the fact that my original foyer concepts contained traces of looney tune designs. Upon watching a few episodes (1 in particular in which daffy is relaxing in a villa pool) I realised the painted backdrops do have a resemblance to the sort of style we are after. They use bright block colours with simple gradient changes for shadow and depth. The buildings are usually distorted and are made up of jagged edges and bends. Swirls also feature alot in the decor and furniture. I really want to achieve this wacky look within our mansion.

Tikki Lounge

This is another style our designs reminded Jared of - Tikki Lounges. This is more of an inspiration for Phil, as he is designing the Swimming Pool area. The style fits in perfectly with the rest of the mansion because it has alot in common with our other style influences. It uses bright colours, chunky structures, wacky faces embedded into pillars, bendy architecture made from planks of wood and bamboo, aswell as swirls and wavy designs. I would love for our pool area to have a tikki feel. If nothing can be taken from this, then at least have tikki palm trees around the mansion!

De Blob

De Blob has always been our main style influence from the very beginning of this project. We love the simplicity of the environments, the rich colours, the wacky curved architecture, and the fun child like aesthetics. We also love the simple characters that inhabit the world - the blobs if you will. They too have been designed in the same minimilistic colourful style to match the environment.

So there you have it, the 5 main influences for the design of our mansion. I hope we can mix and match these design styles to create our very own stylish wacky mansion!
