The Student Hotel

/ Brand Strategy / Brand Identity / Guidelines


From 2014 I’ve been serving The Student Hotel as the main Creative Lead and managed the in-house brand studio, internal stakeholders, external agencies and freelancers.
The Student Hotel (TSH) it’s where people come together to live, learn, work and play. It includes people from all walks of life with an open mind, curious by nature. Everybody with a student spirit.

I’ve defined Brand Strategy and Creative Direction, across all media and shaped the communication based on:

BRAND VISION - Everybody with a student spirit should feel inspired to explore their purpose and change the world.

BRAND MISSION - We’re creating a complete connected community, where the curious by nature come together to make a difference.

BRAND ACTION - We build physical, digital and cultural spaces that inspire; where people learn, stay, work and play, growing through shared experiences and stories.



The Student Hotel Manifesto


We’ve established values that define The Student Hotel.
The Student Hotel is OPEN (inclusive, approachable and never judge), CURIOUS (believe in lifelong learning), FUN (play with a wink and never take life too seriously), UNFINISHED (always work-in-progress and encourage learning from failure), CONSCIOUS (by making responsible, purposeful decisions that have a positive impact on people and places) and ENTREPRENEURIAL (take the initiative, challenge the status quo and question things).




The Student Hotel Complete Connected Community



We’ve designed a map representing every space and type of individuals to represent  what TSH stands for, and its offer.
Each space and individuals are designed to represent all the different types of personalities and iteractions between guests, co-livers, employees and the space.

The map represents the Complete Connected Community in full, where people from different age and background share spaces, ideas and experience.



The Complete Connected Community Map



In 2019 we’ve launched a disruptive project with a statue of a naked Donald Trump to collect data on people’s reaction.
We kicked off this installation during the Berlin hotel opening where we’ve been able to collect +3000 reactions in one day.

Everyone was able to fill in their personal input, using their social media profile, via the screen on the side of the installation. Once done, the input starts to appear on the big screen together with the other messages.
