A mid-century modern motel for Mackay, referencing the sun-soaked architecture of Palm Springs and the interiors that defined the Mad Men era. Clean lines, geometric forms, bold colour, and period furnishings carry the aesthetic throughout.

Landscaping with palms and native flora reinforces the resort feel while grounding the project in its tropical Queensland setting.

The brief was to balance nostalgia with comfort. Somewhere with genuine character that does not take itself too seriously.
