These marketing brochures adapt the design of the buildings they represent into printed collateral to make a powerful first impression to potential residents. The combination of woodgrain with more manufactured industrial elements as seen in high-end contemporary architecture was translated into design elements by way of pairing debossed woodgrain texture with the contemporary geometric Klavika type family.

Project Description

Bellevue Towers is one of the best-selling luxury condominium properties in the nation, and our task was simple: woo an elite group of brokers and clients to drive sales of the remaining homes. Every brand touchpoint had to make an impression (and fast), as well as draw attention to the property's LEED® Gold certification and luxurious natural finishes. (Ooh, ahh.) We developed this Broker Toolkit as an “everything-you-need" folder for someone in the market. Purpose: to support brokers and create a lasting first impression. Brokers are able to learn from elements in the kit, then personalize it and pass it along to their perspective buyers. The debossed wood grain design compliments the rich mahogany finishes found in many of the homes, while silver foil accents dial up the class and provide a necessary dose of “oooh shiny.”

Bellevue Towers currently sit at 95% sold, but that last $6 million penthouse is still up for grabs—in case you were still looking for a Mother’s Day present.

Production Lesson(s)

Between finding the right paper, the right capacity of the pockets, and debossing a complex wood grain pattern over an entire sheet we learned quite a lot. Even further, we had trouble with foil stamping the logo (with such small type) and worked out a solution with our fantastic printer for a fine balance of pressure and matte aqueous coating, which also darkened the paper and added a a touch of richness. Top everything off with a complex hand-fold and insertion process to finish out the kits and this is a piece we're proud to say we won't forget.”
