Project Overview
The project focused on refining the Ocean Restaurant’s website experience, translating its two-Michelin-star positioning into a sophisticated and cohesive digital interface. The goal was to create a premium visual experience that complemented the restaurant’s identity while making its content and offering easy to explore.
Challenge
The main challenge was balancing Ocean’s distinct identity with Vila Vita Parc’s broader visual language. The design also needed to support the restaurant’s evolving tasting menu, allowing text and imagery to be updated without disrupting the overall structure. The final experience had to feel refined, consistent, and aligned with the expectations of a high-end fine dining audience.
UI Kit
The UI Kit was developed to reflect the elegance and exclusivity of the Ocean Restaurant **. A refined typographic combination was selected, with Didot LT Pro conveying sophistication in titles and Lato ensuring readability in body text. For interactive elements, a clear button hierarchy was established, primary, secondary, and tertiary, providing both consistency and flexibility across the website. This approach reinforced the restaurant’s premium identity while guaranteeing a user-friendly and visually balanced design.
Visual Design
The visual design translated the Ocean’s premium identity into a refined digital experience, using editorial layouts, elegant typography, and immersive imagery. The interface was designed to balance visual sophistication with clear content hierarchy, creating a digital presence that reflects the restaurant’s fine dining experience.
