Casa Estrélla
—2021
Branding for a Luxury Boutique Hotel
Inspired by a diary and old photographs found in an old lost family trunk from 1885. This secret treasure sparked us to follow a trail of clues that follows the history of Calistoga itself to discover the woman who wrote the diary, an incredible woman, of African and Indigenous descent. It is a story of a brave runaway slave that escaped a plantation back in the 1830s to find herself and her son freedom and a better life. Casa Estrélla was born from the old family house of Estrélla build in the late 18th century, a place full of history and life, reinvented to create a vital experience that flows from the essence of the hotel itself, where the stone, water, and the sun combine to create the highest luxury; the home away from home.
