MODELMAKING: SUPER MARIO HOTEL

The following two models come together to create a hospitality concept for a Super Mario world. If Cinderella’s Castle has a premium hospitality experience, why shouldn’t Princess Peach?

This project was done independently for academic purposes with no affiliation with the owners of Nintendo IP.

Princess Peach Luxury Hotel Room

Princess Peach bedroom including a bed adorned with her signature crown

This first model doubles as a movie set and a Princess Peach luxury hotel room experience. I used half-inch scale to experiment with furniture design and finite details, such as her Mario Kart racing mantle and Nintendo Switch gaming area. I modeled the floor plan on Revit, then built it up in 3D using paper, foam, and paint. I also Photoshopped unique printed elements such as wall designs and framed artwork.

DONKEY KONG RESORT

The Donkey Kong swim-up splash bar and resort offers a new spin on themed hotels. The eighth-inch scale encouraged me to develop my skills in master planning. I tried to frame the layout with ‘Instagram-friendly’ vignettes, beloved character interactions, and an irresistible paradise worthy of a vacation splurge. I built on the skills above by utilizing air-dry clay, a 3D pen, and resin.
