Motel Blues — build rooms

Motel Blues — build rooms out of your memories. motelblues.com

Every room you've ever loved still holds a memory. Motel Blues lets you build those rooms — and walk back into them.

The idea. A photo is flat. A memory is a space — it has a layout, a light, a feeling. We're great at losing memories and terrible at keeping them. Motel Blues turns a memory into a room you can actually stand inside: you sketch a floor plan, generate it in 3D, fill it with objects, and tuck a memory inside each one — a song, a photo, a video, a link. Then you share it: public rooms have a number, private ones a 6-digit key.

Built with Figma suite and beyond. I used most of the Figma surface to make this:

Figma Make — the foundation: the app shell, the blueprint editor, room generation, walk mode.https://www.figma.com/community/file/1649640954660120505/motel-blues-initial-prototype

Figma Weave — the landing page's living background video. Button backgrounds.

The detail I love most: The demo room is the room I built Motel Blues in. A memory of making the thing that makes memories.
