HAIN MOUNTAIN RETREAT
( ABOUT )
Hain Mountain Retreat is a modern ski escape designed for adventurers who want the freedom to explore—or do absolutely nothing at all. Nestled in the mountains, the retreat needed a digital presence that captured both sides of its identity: rugged, exploratory energy balanced with quiet luxury and deep rest.
This project was an opportunity to explore how intentional brand storytelling can sell an experience and not just a destination.

DAY ( 1 )
( mapping the experience )
We started by defining the emotional journey of a Hain guest—from arrival to après-ski evenings by the fire. This guided how the website would unfold: calm, expansive, and un-rushed, with moments of visual drama that mirror the mountain landscape.

( Brand Direction & Visual System )
We developed a refined visual identity rooted in natural textures, cool alpine tones, and warm contrast—balancing the crispness of snow-covered peaks with the coziness of the retreat itself. The palette and typography were chosen to feel premium yet grounded, never overly polished.

( MERCH DESIGN & ICONOGRAPHY )
To extend the brand beyond the screen, we designed a small merch system and a custom icon set inspired by alpine symbols, trail markers, and mountain geometry. These assets reinforce brand recognition while creating tactile touchpoints guests can take home so they can bring the Hain experience with them long after their stay.
Final results below ↓
Hain Mountain Retreat emerges as a fully realized brand and digital experience—one that feels expansive, serene, and quietly adventurous. From web to physical touchpoints, the brand positions the retreat as both a basecamp for exploration and a sanctuary for rest.
A mountain retreat that doesn’t rush you, online or off.
