Rooted in the principles of biophilic design, they aim to redefine urban hospitality by offering sustainable accommodation, immersive spaces, and rejuvenating experiences that seamlessly integrate elements found in the natural environment. At Arboria, they invite guests to immerse themselves in a transformative journey, providing a place where wellness, sustainability, and innovation thrive.

Brief:
Develop a brand identity for an upscale hotelier reflecting biophilic design and the unique nature-driven hotel experiences offered.

Challenge:
Translating abstract ideas like “biophilic design" and "unique nature-driven hotel experiences" into a tangible and recognizable brand experience.
Creating a brand identity that feels upscale while staying true to an organic, nature-inspired aesthetic.

Solution:
The hotel concept stems from fusing the 2 abstract ideas together Biophilic Design and Unique, Nature-Driven Hotel Experiences, to produce 2 key brand values:
  • Nature & Human Collaboration — the blend of natural and urban elements.
  • Wellness Journeys — a hospitality experience offering unique, nature-driven activities and services designed to enhance physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
