SOLENTA

I rebranded Solenta, a five-bedroom luxury holiday home in Yarmouth, creating a cohesive nautical identity inspired by its sea views and coastal setting.

Each room was individually named and brought to life with bespoke, hand-painted signage. Every sign features a custom icon seamlessly integrated into the lettering—replacing one of the characters to create a distinctive visual detail unique to each space.

In total, I designed 18 signs, installed across the property, including the front and back gates, garden, side alley, and boathouse ensuring the branding flowed consistently throughout the entire environment.

The Solenta logo was designed within the outline of the Isle of Wight, featuring a subtle wave detail within the “S” and a ship’s wheel forming the “O”, reinforcing the nautical theme while maintaining a clean, premium aesthetic.

Alongside the physical branding, I designed and built a bespoke website showcasing the property and its details, as well as providing curated recommendations for local restaurants, beaches, and activities to enhance the guest experience.

All signage was first designed digitally for client approval before being carefully hand-painted.
