This project was reminiscent of a Wes Anderson movie set. The entire interior is pastel - bubblegum pink in colour and the breaking pattern for the monochrome nature is black and white stripes. Therefore the name, Pink Zebra. Apart from this very strong and juxtaposing colour scheme, the whole design feels almost like a movie set.
