The Brief

Lodged is a sitcom produced by SCAD Productions, set in a once-luxurious motel caught between its glamorous past and an incomplete present. The design brief called for a space that felt partially renovated, blending retro charm with modern updates in a way that told the story of the building's evolving history.

The Work

The inspiration was drawn from vintage Americana and mid-century design, layering rich textures, bold colors, and architectural details that gave the space a genuine sense of history. The goal was a world that felt lived-in and specific rather than stylized.
