Turtle Cove Lodge & Yoga Shala, Mozambique
NESTLED BETWEEN THE TROPICAL SEASIDE VILLAGE OF TOFO AND SURFER’S HAVEN TOFINHO POINT. TURTLE COVE PROVIDES AN IDEAL HOLIDAY SPOT, WORK-AWAY LOCATION, YOGA VENUE OR SPACE TO SELF RETREAT, ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE BEACH.
Blended into the landscape, Turtle Cove is a fusion of Moroccan architecture and local, natural materials.
CASITAS SIT WITHIN A MATURE GARDEN WHILE THE RESTAURANT SERVES HEALTHY, HOME-COOKED MEALS. TERRA COTTA CEMENT WORK, AMBIENT LIGHTING AND A COZY LOUNGE. THE FOCUS HERE IS ON WELLNESS AND YOGA RETREATS.
Shapes, lines and colours found within the architecture are considered in the logo.
THE PROCESS BEGAN WITH PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE LODGE. THIS CONTENT INSPIRED THE DIRECTION OF THE IDENTITY. REMAINING NATURAL AND LESS DIGITAL, STEPPING AWAY FROM CLICHE YOGA WELLNESS WAS CRUCIAL. AS TURTLE COVE IS A WELL ESTABLISHED LODGE, IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT TO REINVENT THE IDENTITY WHILST STAYING TRUE TO ITS ROOTS.
Gentle on the eye. Darker. Warmer. Tones that reflect the physical atmosphere of the lodge.
THE LOGO EVOLVED FROM ITS PREVIOUS FORM WITH AN IDENTITY THAT REMAINS TRUE TO ITS CHARACTER. HAND DRAWN LINES WITH NATURE AT THE FOREFRONT. THE WEBSITE IS FINISHED WITH WARM, WASHED OUT PHOTOS WITH GRAIN AND TEXTURE. A WELCOMING INVITATION TO RETREAT AND RELAX.
