Casa Mamanguá
A refuge between the forest and the tide
Casa Mamanguá sits where the Atlantic Forest runs down to the still water of the bay — one of the few in Brazil ringed by preserved forest on both sides. You arrive by boat, and the only sound left is the wind in the palms.
It is an unhurried place. No cars, no forced signal, nothing in excess. The brand translates that simplicity: a house that does not compete with the landscape, but quietly frames the rock, the forest and the sea.
Building the logo
The mark is the rocky peak that guards the mouth of Saco do Mamanguá, flanked by palms and resting on the horizon line — the same view you get arriving by boat. Below it, the name in small caps with generous letter spacing, reinforcing the sense of calm and openness.
The mark in motion
The logo draws itself: the line starts at the peak, runs down the slopes and settles on the horizon, and only then does the name appear. The animation opens the site and closes the brand videos.
Versions
Four versions to hold contrast on any background, plus the isolated symbol for small sizes and the profile avatar. Green is the preferred version; the others exist for specific contexts, such as laser engraving and textured backgrounds.
Palette
Colours taken from the landscape itself: the dense green of the forest, the pale sand of the beach and the aquamarine of the still bay. Forest green leads; aquamarine appears only in links and highlights.
Type
Fraunces carries headlines and standout lines — it holds the same handmade character as the logo. Inter organises body copy, practical information and the site interface, keeping the reading clear at any size.
In practice
Instagram profile, business card, entrance sign and amenities tag — the pieces a guest actually meets, from first contact to arrival.
Objects and linen
The brand applied to what stays with the guest: beach bag, towel and bed linen.
Social media refresh
The profile rebuilt under the new identity, alternating landscape, symbol and blocks of solid colour — a rhythm that holds as the feed grows.
The website
A single page, built for someone who had already decided to disconnect before clicking «book». WhatsApp stays within reach, and every section sells the experience before the nightly rate.
