The challenge

What had to change.

Small properties often carry a strong interior and a weak identity: a logo on a door, a menu typed in a hurry, a welcome card that does not match anything else.

Strategic approach

The thinking behind it.

  1. 01

    Build the identity from the property's materials — stone, linen, brass — rather than from a trend.

  2. 02

    Design the guest sequence as one system: booking confirmation, key card, menu, welcome note, checkout.

  3. 03

    Set production rules so future print runs stay consistent after the studio has handed over.

Execution & deliverables

What was produced.

  • Identity system
  • Brand guidelines
  • Collateral artwork
  • Print specification
  • Mark, type and colour system tested at card and façade scale.
  • Guideline document covering print, signage and digital use.
  • Collateral set designed and specified for local production.

Outcomes

Internal development project, used to test the identity method before client delivery. No client or performance data is attached.
