The brief
A new hospitality group with three brutalist properties wanted guests to feel the architecture before they ever arrived — a brand as monumental and tactile as the buildings.
Our approach
We treated the identity like a material, not a logo. Everything is cut from the same stone-grey system with a single warm light source, echoing how the buildings handle daylight. The booking flow is unhurried and architectural — fewer screens, larger type, more air — so reserving a room feels like walking a corridor.
The brief
Make people feel the concrete online.
Three monumental buildings, no brand to match. The group wanted the digital experience to carry the same weight and calm as the architecture.
The idea
Design the brand as a single material.
One stone-grey palette, one light source, one set of proportions derived from the buildings' module. Every artefact reads as cut from the same block.
The build
A booking flow with architectural calm.
We slowed the journey down on purpose: spacious typographic screens, generous imagery, and a confirmation that feels like a key handed over rather than a receipt.
