What if the future had been imagined a century ago?

I’m exploring the fascinating intersection of vintage science-fiction art and futuristic technology for the Recraft × Contra Design Challenge.

Inspired by antique illustrations, forgotten inventions, and surreal planetary landscapes, I’m developing “THE UNDISCOVERED FUTURE” — a fictional archive where yesterday’s artistic imagination meets tomorrow’s possibilities.

The goal is to transform a historical visual language into something unexpected, cohesive, and entirely new.

Sometimes, the most interesting vision of the future comes from looking into the past.

antique illustration plus planetary landscapes is a fun mix. id push the faded paper texture harder so it reads as an actual archive

One design, two completely different worlds. 🌿✨

This website was originally designed for IRA Villas, a premium gated villa community. I later revisited the design and reimagined it as a luxury wooden retreat website, transforming the visual direction into something inspired by nature, warmth, and understated luxury.

I love exploring how a design can evolve into something entirely different with a new concept, visual identity, and creative direction.

What do you think of this transformation? 👇

the wooden retreat version feels so much warmer, I'd book that one 😄 cool to see how far one layout can go just by changing the mood
