01 / OHHOUSE

A house in the trees, made easy to find, book and enjoy.

Brand Identity · Website · Guest Experience · Photography · Content

OHHOUSE is a holiday home on pilings in the jungle near Tamarindo, Costa Rica, up at treetop level. We gave it a name people remember, a website that feels like arriving, a guest guide that works like an app, and the photographs that show it as it really is.

Website design and development02

Show the place as it really is.

An editorial site in English and Spanish, designed and built by us. It reads like a walk up to the house: the jungle through wet glass, the section drawing, the plan, then the booking.

Digital guest experience03

Your Stay. A guide that works like an app.

Booked guests open a private guide on their phone, from planning the trip to finding the key locker and getting through the stay. Fewer messages for the host, more time on the deck for the guests.

    Photography04

    Photographed by us, the way it feels to be there.

    Architecture, interiors and the small details. Shot in soft daylight, with the jungle always in the frame.

    Content creation05

    Words and pictures that sound like the house.

    Honest, a little funny, never salesy. The same voice and the same photographs carry from the website and the guest guide into Instagram.

    The house was made to be lived in, not just looked at.

    The monkeys might wake you up. We think it’s worth it.

    Come and see what the fuss is about.
