THE BRIEF /
North Coast Heritage Honey is produced on a private estate and orchard in Northern Ireland. As part of a broader placemaking and rural enterprise project, the estate owners needed a luxury honey brand that could reflect the quality of the land, the heritage of the orchard, and the distinct Northern Irish landscape the bees forage on.
More than a product, this was an identity tied to place—connecting the land, the architecture, and the natural environment through carefully crafted design. The brand needed to feel premium and authentic while standing out in the high-end small-batch honey market.
THE SOLUTION /
We approached the brand as we would an estate or destination—starting with a sense of place. Through research into the local landscape, flora, and history, we developed a design rooted in Northern Ireland’s identity. A hand-drawn bee within a soft arch evoked both heritage and hospitality, framed by deep blue and gold tones to reflect quality and tradition.
The packaging references the cliffs of Antrim, apple blossoms, gorse, and heather—tying the honey to the land it came from. The result is a small-batch product that feels estate-grown, crafted, and culturally grounded.
In the context of our work in property and place, this was about telling the story of a location through brand—elevating a rural enterprise with the same strategic and design-led approach we bring to homes, developments, and destination marketing.
