Love Island is a reality series known for its sun-soaked romance, dramatic recouplings, and influencer-heavy casting. But what if it embraced a wider range of personalities, bringing islanders together through shared passions and deeper connections?

To explore this, I created a mood board to the right, reflecting the traditional Love Island aesthetic—bold, colorful, and high-energy. Using Microsoft Copilot, I generated four distinct user profiles, each inspiring a uniquely designed villa space. The final renderings reimagine different rooms in the Love Island villa, presented alongside Love Island USA Season 6 comparisons to highlight the transformation.
