CRAFTING A BRAND AS LAYERED AS THE SPACES THEY CREATE

We had the opportunity to position Allito Spaces beyond typical coastal design as experts in travel-inspired residential experiences. The goal was creating a distinctive brand identity that balanced boutique character with approachable warmth—attracting premium San Diego clients who value both global inspiration and exceptional service.

Our solution centered on "Boutique character. Everyday life." The refined serif logotype mirrors luxury boutique hotel typography, while the hand-drawn sun icon embodies Allison's "sun-drenched spaces" philosophy. Organic watercolor stripe patterns capture gentle waves and Mediterranean shadows—fluid elements evoking layered global exploration.

WHERE WANDERLUST MEETS RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

The curated color palette tells the story of working with Allito Spaces: sun-drenched meets global wanderlust, differentiating them from typical coastal interiors.

The brand strategy positioned Allito Spaces for growth beyond interior design. Final deliverables included secondary marks for future expansion into design retreats and creative offerings, allowing the travel-inspired identity to evolve while maintaining client recognition and trust.

The website reflects the boutique hotel experience clients expect—curated content, immersive project photography, and subtle travel-inspired elements guiding visitors through the Allito Spaces journey. Project pages are organized like boutique hotel experiences, sharing inspiration behind each space while highlighting collected treasures and global elements that make their work unique.

A BRAND THAT TRANSPORTS WITHOUT LEAVING HOME

The comprehensive brand system captures Allito Spaces' travel-inspired aesthetic. From the refined logotype to organic patterns, every element reinforces their expertise in elevated residential experiences that transform homes into boutique hotel-inspired retreats.

The brand attracts San Diego homeowners seeking distinctive design over cookie-cutter solutions—clients who value global inspiration and the expertise that delivers beautiful spaces on time and budget. This foundation supports Allison's vision of sharing transformative experiences, establishing Allito Spaces as a leader bringing global perspective to every project.
