ROLE
Design & build, end to end
( THE BRIEF )
Halftone Hotel had the rooms, the neighborhood and the service — but the brand felt borrowed from everywhere else.
We built a visual system inspired by print ephemera: halftone crops, stamped details, warm neutrals and copy that reads like a well-kept city guide. The site focuses on atmosphere first, then makes booking feel effortless.
The result is a hotel presence that feels local, designed and memorable before guests ever arrive.
THE PROBLEM
A club-night logo that fell apart at platform scale — no system, no motion, no voice.
THE FIX
One flexible identity, tuned for dark screens, that scales from a favicon to a festival stage.
( THE IDENTITY )
SELECTED FRAMES
How it came together.
( APPROACH — 03 STEPS )
01 — LOCAL RESEARCH
Collected from the street
We gathered visual cues from neighborhood signage, postcards, menus and independent galleries.
02 — BRAND SYSTEM
Print texture, modern booking
We translated halftone patterns and editorial grids into a flexible hospitality identity.
03 — WEB EXPERIENCE
Browse like a guidebook
We designed a site that moves from mood to rooms to reservations with no generic hotel clutter.
What we shipped.
( DELIVERABLES )
The new identity finally feels like the hotel our guests talk about after checkout.

Paper Planes
A lightweight campaign system for a travel membership — folding motion, sharp copy and a landing page that moves fast.
