Drawing inspiration from the detail and simplicity of 60s modernism, Aura creates a unique "road trip vibes" aesthetic that blends timelessness with contemporary style. We combine minimalist forms and functional beauty with the warmth and eclectic spirit of 70s nostalgia. By carefully selecting materials and colors that evoke a natural, lived-in ambiance, we foster comfort and familiarity through rich earthy tones and vibrant hues, paying homage to the era’s iconic palette.
Design elements feature playful nods to classic 70s motifs, such as bold patterns reimagined with a modern twist. Built-in communal lounges provide inviting spaces for residents to connect, reflecting the spirit of shared experiences reminiscent of road trips and family gatherings.
A variety of textures, from plush fabrics to tactile surfaces, adds depth and interest throughout the space. Subtle references to family heirlooms create a sense of continuity with the past, while celebrating local art enhances the building’s cultural context and community vibe.
Overall, the interiors harmonize the precision of modernism with the warmth of nostalgia, crafting a vibrant and welcoming environment that honors the past while embracing the present.
