Project Description

Treehouse is a garden-to-table restaurant and event space in Mexico City, focused on fresh, seasonal food and thoughtfully designed hospitality experiences.

01. Context + Background

Treehouse was more than a restaurant, it was a story about connection, intentional living, and the beauty of seasonal food. Nestled in a hidden garden in Mexico City, it needed a brand identity and guest experience that reflected the warmth of the space, the quality of the ingredients, and the sense of care that defined every touchpoint.

Treehouse was more than a restaurant, it was a story about connection, intentional living, and the beauty of seasonal food. Nestled in a hidden garden in Mexico City, it needed a brand identity and guest experience that reflected the warmth of the space, the quality of the ingredients, and the sense of care that defined every touchpoint.

02. My Role

I led the full brand experience from concept to execution.

  • Created the visual identity, menus, signage, and digital presence

  • Designed the spatial flow and curated the physical brand through materials, table design, and ambiance

  • Sourced linens, ceramics, plants, and interior details to complement the brand aesthetic

  • Directed and styled photoshoots, social content, and seasonal campaigns

  • Developed a guest experience that included reservations, walk-ins, and curated supper clubs

04. Approach / Solution

I approached Treehouse as a sensory experience designing not just how it looked, but how it felt. Every detail was curated to support a sense of calm and connection, from linen textures and music to menu typography and garden lighting. The visual identity was soft and organic, with hand-touched elements that honored nature and ritual. I brought consistency across all brand expressions, from physical signage to digital presence, while staying true to the spirit of the space.

05. Results / Impact

  • Treehouse became a sought-after destination for both locals and travelers, with fully booked events and consistent word-of-mouth buzz

  • The design helped communicate quality and care, allowing Treehouse to host collaborations with chefs, florists, and wellness brands

  • The physical and brand experience felt deeply connected, resulting in higher guest satisfaction, photo-worthy moments, and a strong sense of community
