Harbor-Suites

Harbor Suites offer a contemporary and unique hospitality proposal, settled at the neighbourhood of Profitis Ilias, one of the most beautiful spots of Piraeus city. A collection of apartments that boast a special blend of urban aesthetics and contemporary design trends, while reflecting a holistic lifestyle approach through the well-being services provided. The main scope of this project was to present the new apartments online and fully inform the visitors for all the places of interest in the surrounding area, constituting the alternative city of Piraeus as the new hotspot. The typography has been carefully chosen and balances between the sense of well-being provided by Harbor Suites and the busy urban vibes of the location. Moreover, the colour palette reflects the luxurious character of the apartments, echoing a soothing feeling, while the information flows through monotone forms and shapes in a harmonious way on all pages.
