The Talei

Role:Digital designer and Flash developer
Client:Lussane Property Management
Date:2006
Award:Site of the Week, Communication Arts Magazine

The Talei was designed as an exclusive multi-million dollar hotel located on a small island off the Fijian coast. Investors can buy shares which entitles them to stay at the hotel for 3 weeks a year. For the rest of the year, their investment helps run the business.

My challenge was to present the project in an elegant way without giving out any details. Much like a brochure for luxury goods (think Gucci or LV) the end goal was to entice people to take the next step and contact the developer.

The pace of life on a small, tranquil island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is also much slower. So the site needed to reflect that deeply relaxed atmosphere.

It was a really rewarding piece of work for me personally and professionally. Here’s an excerpt from Communication Arts magazine which picked Talei as its site of the week.

It’s an oasis on the Web, with a level of sophistication and beauty in the interface that does an amazing job of conveying the seclusion of the island.
