Nordhús Highland Retreat

Nordhús Highland Retreat is a conceptual brand created for a boutique hotel imagined in the middle of Iceland’s Highlands. From positioning to visual identity, we built a complete brand experience that feels grounded, immersive and connected to the elements. Designed for the high-end hospitality space, Nordhús shows how atmosphere and story can shape beauty and calm in one of the harshest places on earth.
