Cove
A collection of coastlines you can actually book.
- Motion web experience
- Brand identity
- Marketing
The concept
Cove is a curated collection of independently-owned coastal stays — cabins, cottages, lighthouses — sold as an immersive, scroll-driven story rather than a listings grid. Each place is a chapter: the light at 7 a.m., the walk to the water, the host's breakfast. Booking happens inside the narrative. Revenue: booking commission plus a paid membership with early access to new coves.
Who it’s for
Design-literate couples and remote workers who choose where to stay by feeling, not filters.

Brand direction
Editorial coastal warmth. Sun-bleached sand and sea-glass teal, a dramatic display serif for chapter titles, and full-bleed golden-hour photography. The web experience is motion-led: text and images parallax as you scroll a shoreline, so browsing feels like a slow walk rather than a search.

Cove
Melodrama — expressive high-contrast serif for chapters
Text + system
General Sans — quiet captions and booking UI
Chapter numbers ('Cove Nº 04') anchor the scroll; the serif is used large and sparingly.
Voice
A travel diary, not a brochure: sensory, specific, a little in love with the place.

Scarcity as taste: 'eighteen coves' says more than 'thousands of stays.' The brand sells editorial curation and a feeling, and lets the algorithm-fatigued self-select.
The campaign
"Eighteen Good Mornings" — a slow-media launch: one cove revealed per week as a cinematic scroll story and a printed zine for members. Each reveal is a Reel of the 7 a.m. light; the CTA is always 'walk the cove,' never 'book now.'
Headline directions
“Eighteen coves. One good morning each.”
“You don't filter a feeling.”
“Book the walk to the water.”
