Our comprehensive work for Stil 1827 encompassed naming, creative direction, brand identity, print collaterals, website design, and social launch—taking inspiration from the historic flooding events in Flanders to create a boutique hotel experience centered on rejuvenation and escape. The name itself—"Stil" evokes stillness of water—and forms the conceptual foundation for a brand that offers respite from urban intensity. We developed a distinctive logo with fluid motifs that reference the region's historical relationship with flooding, creating a visual language that feels both rooted to the location and deeply resonant for guests. Beyond visual touchpoints, our approach extended to crafting a comprehensive verbal suite where website copy embodies the sensation of tranquility through deliberate pacing and tonal qualities. This integrated direction positions Stil 1827 as a new paradigm of slow luxury in the Belgian countryside—a place where modern amenities and thoughtful design create spaces that encourage genuine relaxation and contemplation. The effectiveness of this holistic brand approach is evident in the results: Stil 1827 averaged 62% in direct bookings within a few monthly post-launch, significantly outperforming the European average of 27%.
