about . sobre
I was commissioned to design the visual identity, signage, and brand materials for grapple hotel — a new 4-star retreat in Portugal’s Douro Valley. The aim was to reflect its elegant, contemporary atmosphere through a cohesive brand experience. Located in the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, grapple hotel offers 13 rooms, a spa, outdoor leisure areas, and refined gastronomy. Designed by Nini Andrade Silva, with architecture by Daniela Rebelo, it combines sophistication and comfort in a stunning natural setting. Highlights include outdoor and indoor pools, a saltwater kids’ pool, spa facilities, gardens, and an artificial lake.
Fui convidado a criar a identidade visual, sinalética e materiais de marca para o grapple hotel — um novo refúgio de 4 estrelas no Douro, Portugal. O objetivo foi traduzir a sua atmosfera elegante e contemporânea numa experiência de marca coesa. Situado no Vale do Douro, classificado pela UNESCO, o grapple hotel conta com 13 quartos, spa, zonas de lazer ao ar livre e uma oferta gastronómica requintada. Com interiores de Nini Andrade Silva e arquitetura de Daniela Rebelo, combina sofisticação e conforto num cenário natural único. Destacam-se as piscinas (exterior, interior e infantil de água salgada), o spa, os jardins e um lago artificial.
