Designing a place that felt unique and familiar at the same time ‚ a premium experience unlike any other in Oneroa, but like it had always been there. The Oyster Inn is a boutique offering including a restaurant, bar, shop and rooms situated on Waiheke Island, off the coast of Auckland. Working with a traditional sign writer, the handcrafted brand materials and signs are at times awkward and quirky, like the exacting and detail-oriented owners may have made it themselves: approachable and understated. Special thanks to Katie Lockart, interior design and Tony Barnett, signwriting.
