An identity with atmosphere
The wordmark’s open shapes and understated palette take their cues from the architecture and surrounding landscape.

01 The thinking
Let the place do the talking.
Alder House imagines an independent coastal retreat for people who want to step away from their everyday pace. The creative brief was to communicate the quality of the stay through atmosphere and detail, without relying on familiar luxury language.
A grounded palette, an expressive serif wordmark, and wide photographic framing establish a slower rhythm. The website direction brings that same restraint to the page, with space for the setting, the stay, and a clear booking path.
