FIRA BEACH CLUB

PHUKET. THAILAND

Project

A new Beach Club from A to Z

Location

Phuket, Thailand

What started as a branding challenge snowballed into everything. We’re talking furniture design, sourcing materials, interiors, lighting, menus, signage, even the uniforms. Somewhere along the way, this project fundamentally pushed the boundaries of what we are capable of as a company.

Strategy & Direction

Name & Brand Definition

Uniforms & Styling

Finding the Core Brand idea

The first time we stepped into the venue, we were taken aback by the incredible vista stretching out ahead of us. The crisp blues and rocky bay reminded us of the simplicity usually found in Mediterranean Islands.

In the months that followed, we created a slice of Santorini in Thailand. A full day experience of life's simple pleasures. A club inspired by timeless Greek sun drenched vistas best admired from the coastal hills.

Choosing the name

It had to be Fira, not only the capital of Santorini, but a word that holds many meanings across different languages and cultures.

Designing a full Experience From Sun til Moon

After a deep dive into the needs of the different customer groups, we created a set of experiences crafted to meet each and everyone's needs

From the direction of the food and drinks, ways to spend the day chilling or rejoicing, to the type of services that would make them most welcome.

Our favorite part? Diving into the Sunset experience. As shades of colours fill up the sky, creating an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness where every individual feels a genuine sense of belonging. 

Defining how to celebrate being here and now, providing an experience that embraces the beauty of shared connections.

As a collective establishment, FIRA hosts a high end restaurant, Kipo, and cocktail experience DOXA. Also part of our creative process.

Our design for Kipo Restaurant offer a unique luxury experience that can be enjoyed separately or as part of a whole day.

Elevated above pool, the concept for DOXA is an other worldly cocktail experience to rival global cities.

Developing the space to tell the Brand Story

From concepts boards...

...to 3D renders...

Furniture & decorative design and sourcing

Design, Source, QC.

Visual identity as story teller

It's all in the details

High End Food & Beverage branded applications

At this standard of hospitality, nothing is left unthought of, from custom embroidery to choice for fabric for the table napkins to menus that a easy to navigate and invite to trying more all the way to plateware direction and bill holders

All need to be considered with the upmost care, from design the concepts all the way to QC-ing the production.

Towels, napkins and more

Imagery style, overall presentation

To assist the team with marketing collaterals our role also included the styling and presentation of products served to guests. This was all wrapped up in brand training and photography guides.

Uniform design

A team that looks good in what they wear feels confident in their service and show your standing. 

Lastly, brand guidelines and gaurdianship

Turning six months of strategy design and marketing assets into a restaurant owners manual.

Brand guidelines convey a variety of information and tips about your brand, useful both internally to your company or organization and externally to your affiliates, partners, and customers. Although there is no industry-wide standard for what constitutes a brand standards document, the most notable organizations use brand guidelines as a tool to help everyone understand how to represent their brand.

Good guidelines connect different aspects of your brand, such as your logo, colors, and typography, to form a cohesive identity. 

Great guidelines are highly useable, both to for you to check that anything you do is on brand but also, to create anything new in the future that you didn’t know yet you needed when they were written!

And when it was all done, it was time to celebrate!
