"Even some of the more conceptual Bond locations are making their way from the silver screen into real life. In an article for Dezeen, Jon Astbury wrote about architect Alexis Dornier's work creating Villa Omah Prana, a luxurious abode in Indonesia. While the home itself is located on terra firma, Dornier took inspiration from a location high above the planet's surface: specifically, the space station that's featured prominently in Moonraker."
""Some of the curvature and the atmosphere reference early Ken Adam sketches for Moonraker - especially the clarity of a bold geometric move and the way space can feel choreographed without being theatrical," Dornier told Dezeen. In taking a cue from the set design of Ken Adams, Dornier is drawing inspiration from one of the greatest production designers of his generation."
Alexis Dornier created Villa Omah Prana, a luxurious house in Indonesia inspired by the Moonraker space station. The design incorporates curvature and atmospheric elements drawn from Ken Adam's early Moonraker sketches, emphasizing bold geometric moves and choreographed spatial clarity. Ken Adam designed sets for multiple Bond films, including You Only Live Twice's volcano headquarters, and collaborated with Stanley Kubrick on Dr. Strangelove and Barry Lyndon, earning two Academy Awards. Dornier's childhood fascination with Bond film architectural backdrops motivated him to study architecture in Berlin and pursue a practice that brings conceptual cinematic locations into real-world residences.
