Trinka Bar: from the brand to the facade
A 1920s townhouse in the city centre becoming a bar. We came in before the building work was finished, which is the best moment: brand and space were designed together, not one after the other.
The brand
Lettering drawn by hand, not set in a typeface. The crown over the I and the triangle standing in for the A are the signature — they survive every application.
The system
A palette with checked contrast and a graphic system lifted from the building’s own ornament: arch, cornice, panel and fluting. Nothing imported.
The facade
The building is heritage-listed by the COMPAC. Modelling it in 3D means testing colour, signage and lighting without drilling a protected wall.
The sign
From the board to the light hitting it. Before ordering anything, you can already see how the bar reads from the pavement at nine at night.
Trinka’s website comes when the bar opens. The brand and the space are already standing.
What is already standing in this city
Besides Trinka, two live websites a client uses every day — go and check them right now.
The studio’s first site. The owner changes prices, dishes and photos from the admin panel, without having to call me.
- Full menu with clear prices
- Table booking straight from the site
- Own panel to change prices and dishes
- WhatsApp button on every page
Two locations under one brand. Customers do not have to choose between two sites: they land on one, find their branch and order.
- Two locations, all on one site
- Every ordering channel clearly visible
- A menu the team updates on its own
- Fast and good-looking on mobile
An old townhouse in the city centre turning into a bar. The brand is already standing — logotype, colours and the facade modelled in 3D before a single wall was painted.
- Complete visual identity
- Facade in 3D before the building work
- Sign, menu and applications
- The website comes when it opens
When the whole business needs thinking through
These are not fixed packages. Every business has a different problem and the scope comes out of the conversation — but it always lands in one of these three fronts, or all three.
For a business that already exists and needs a refresh, or one that does not have a name yet.
- Strategy and art direction
- Logotype and full system
- Brand manual and applications
- Menu, stationery and social material
- Instagram graphics
- Motion and animated titles
- Film · crew and kit per project
For anyone opening or refitting a place. The space is modelled before the build: you see how it looks before you spend.
- Visual concept for the space
- Shopfront, signage and window
- Interiors, materials and lighting
- 3D modelling and renders
- Colour and night-lighting tests
- Views to show the builder
- Support through the build
A website written by hand — no builder, no bought theme — wired to Google and your WhatsApp.
- Your own site, built for your business
- Menu or catalogue with prices
- A panel to change prices and photos yourself
- Google listing and map wired to the site
- WhatsApp button on every page
- Monthly traffic report in plain language
- Optional maintenance, cancel whenever you like
Hiring all three together costs less than three separately and comes out better: brand, film and site thought through at once fit each other without anyone stitching them afterwards. Scope, timing and price come out of the conversation, before any payment — fifteen minutes will tell you whether it makes sense.
