We worked collaboratively with the Ensemble […]

GRAS is an award-winning Edinburgh-based architecture and design practice with a reputation for producing dynamic, timeless and enduring projects. The company was formed in 2020 from the consolidation of two successful, family-run practices, Groves-Raines Architects and Groves-Raines Architects Studio.

Over the past few decades, the whisky industry has done a great job […]

Located on the harbour-front in Stornoway, Harbour Kitchen prides itself in its fresh selection of seafood. It is a well-established restaurant that needed a fresh identity. We were tasked with creating a brand that told the story of their culinary pride and heritage with a minimal amount of effort.  We created a suite of Branding assets that included a wordmark, icon and bespoke typeface. We were delighted to work with local printmaker Alice Macmillan on the main visual. Her art focuses on detailed Hebridean scenes. […]

Discovering The Lost Flock.  Orkney-based shepherdess Jane Cooper approached us with the challenge of creating a distinctive brand for one of the oldest breeds of sheep in the British Isles. Orkney Boreray sheep are the direct descendents of a flock that was originally brought to these shores by the Vikings over 1000 years ago. Their mysterious past includes the Highland Clearances, self-sufficiency on evacuated St Kilda and a previously unregistered ‘lost flock’ finally being relocated to the Orkney Isles. Now […]

As you enter through the gates of Orroland, you’ll be transported into a world of enchanting secrets and mystical woodlands. A beautiful landscape with three secluded self-catering cottages, the perfect setting for making memories and getting back to nature. Orroland Estate is a breathtaking place, however the existing brand didn’t truly reflect what makes Orroland special. We wanted to capture the character of the estate and build a new narrative that would help attract direct and organic bookings going forward. […]

Table Tennis Scotland tasked us with developing the visual identity for their national campaign Workplace Table Tennis. This included creation of a logo, a brand asset library and flexible system that could allow creative to be used across a wide range of collateral to shape the project now and in the future. Building personality and fun into the identity was key, so we approached the project from an alternative angle on what ‘table tennis in the workplace’ could mean visually. […]
