A dream you can check into.

Rêve is a collection of design-led villas in Goa: Viraam Estate, The Fable and Palette, with a fourth, Sanctuary, unveiling soon. Each one is a home rather than a hotel room, with heritage Goan architecture, vintage furniture and a garden to sit in.

It came to me as a name and a feeling, with no brand behind it. The feeling was already in the stays: lamplight, jaali screens, long mornings. The work was to give it a face and a voice, and then a website that moves at the same pace.

I established the brand, the logo, colour and typography, and then used it to design the whole website, desktop and mobile.

The mark is a four-petal flower in brass with a laterite heart: warm, a little ornamental, and simple enough to hold up in a browser tab. On the site it does more than sign the page. It opens sections and sets out the values on the about page.

Five colours, all of them already in the stays: forest from the gardens, brass from the lamplight, sand and linen from the shore and the whitewashed walls, and laterite, the red stone Goa is built from. Each one is paired here with one of Rêve's photographs.

A flared display serif for the moments that should feel like an invitation, a clean grotesk for everything you read, and a book serif for the words you press. Hover a typeface to find it in the section beside it.

The brand became the site. Every page sits on linen with forest type, the photographs do most of the talking, and the layout leaves room the way the villas do. Book Now never leaves the header, so the slowness never gets in the way of a booking.
