Beautiful Creatures Set Design

Beautiful Creatures is a young adult fantasy novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, set in the fictional town of Gatlin, South Carolina. The story follows Ethan Wate, a high school student who becomes drawn to Lena Duchannes, a mysterious newcomer with supernatural abilities. As their relationship develops, Ethan discovers that Lena is a Caster, a person born with magical powers, and that she is bound to a dark family legacy.

Blending romance, fantasy, and Southern Gothic atmosphere, the novel explores themes of love, identity, acceptance, and the conflict between light and darkness.

For this project, I designed a film studio set inspired by the Caster Library, translating the novel’s magical world into a physical environment. The design focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and hidden knowledge, creating a space that reflects both the supernatural power of the Casters and the emotional tension at the heart of the story.
