Case study / Kestrel Hotels, Porthleven / 2024


FR 31 / Room 12, first light / FR 36 / The cove at six
01 / The brief
A new hotel in an old net loft, opening in May. They needed every room photographed before the first guest, and a book for the rooms that would still look right in five years.
02 / What I did
A recce in March to learn the light, then three days in April with a stylist, one room every ninety minutes. I designed the book in Bristol and saw it on press at Pressworks.
03 / What it became
The website, the booking pages and a clothbound book in every room. Two more hotels booked me from it.
