I'm investigating Mid Century Modern design with a style sheet of sorts. It's interesting to discover that Frank Lloyd Wright was of Welsh lineage. You can see an approximation of his Taliesin West colour palette (against 3 backgrounds) at the foot of the sheet.

There are also some elements of the Roman & Williams designed Hotel Emma thrown in. They appear to have embraced the decaying, aged, weathered and worn elements of a the building to produce a stunning interior.

Taking some of these elements forward, I need to finalise a scheme for colour and surface pattern, choose specific architectural elements and props, produce specific sheets for each purpose and then, maybe, block out the environment.
It's a plan... it might change...
