AKERA

About the case

AKERA is a wild sanctuary in Upstate New York—125 untamed acres of retreat, reverence, and renewal. A sacred space for dance, play, and self-discovery, where the Earth's pulse is felt with one's whole being.

AKERA

AKERA envisioned a brand infused with sensuality, playfulness, and femininity—something mystical yet inviting. We created an identity that feels soft yet powerful, romantic yet grounded in nature, evoking a deep connection to the divine through the natural world. Through a bespoke logotype and visual language, we captured this essence in a way that feels both ethereal and deeply rooted.

We shaped the interiors of AKERA’s signature accommodations, the Grand Chalet and the Sanctuary, in collaboration with Coywolf. Designed to awaken the senses, each space is grand, textured, and immersive. The Sanctuary is especially fluid and inviting, wrapped in custom pigmented plaster made from clay drawn from the land itself. Soft archways rise and flow, guiding the eye through an open floor plan designed to feel safe, intimate, and effortlessly sensual. (Furnishing and decor not selected or styled by us)
