DESIGN NAME: 1869 Principe Real
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Branding
INSPIRATION: To create a unique and timeless identity, I was inspired by the architectural features of this beautiful palace, in its color and elements, while giving it a Portuguese look, working the 1869 as the old door numbers. In its aplication, I've made also a pattern inspired in the tiles they have in the building entrance and in the most typical Portuguese houses. These details, combined with modern typography and iconography, gives character and contemporaneity to the brand.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 1869 Principe Real is a Bed and Breakfast situated in the most trendy place in Lisbon - Principe Real (the next door neighbor is Madonna). This Bed and Breakfast is located in an 1869 old palace, keeping the old charm with a contemporary design, giving it a premium and luxurious look and feel. I was required to incorporate these values into its identity.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We were really meticulous with the materials used in the brand supports. We want the 1869 Principe Real guest to have the greatest experience ever. We explore designs with high attention to detail and convict that they are easy to use, feel and read. With that, we have a coherent and careful placed visual communication.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2017 and finished in mid 2018.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: To create a unique and timeless identity, I was inspired by the architectural features of this beautiful palace, in its color and elements, while giving it a Portuguese look, working the 1869 as the old door numbers. In its application, I've made also a pattern inspired in the tiles they have in the building entrance and in the most typical Portuguese houses. These details, combined with modern typography and iconography, gives character and contemporaneity to the brand. The L element in the Real word was longed to design a stylized bed icon, reinforcing that is a bed and breakfast.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of the process was to find the best material to make all the space signage that has a modern yet luxurious look and feel. For that, we've discussed multiple solutions and we believe that Corten Steel was a perfect choice and combines beautifully with space and it's color palette.
