The context

One Harbor Shore is the third and final residential building at Fan Pier, completing the vision for the site. Positioned directly on Boston Harbor, it occupies a defining moment within a neighborhood built over more than a decade.

The approach

Following Twenty Two Liberty and 50 Liberty, this project carried a different job. Rather than introducing a new destination, One Harbor Shore needed to bring coherence and closure to what Fan Pier had become. The identity had to align with the established neighborhood while expressing a more residential, lived-in point of view, shaped by daily life on the water.

The brand was built around experience rather than status: ease, movement, and social life, capturing the pleasure of living by the water without leaning on luxury language. That thinking shaped both the visual system and the voice of the brand.

The mark

The logo takes its cues from the building’s own architecture, using geometry and light drawn from water and glass. It signals stability and continuity while marking a shift toward something more personal within the Fan Pier family. Typography, spacing, and color carry that same logic through the system, keeping it grounded and intentional.

The voice

While the visual language stays composed, the messaging introduces a deliberate contrast.

“Life should be fun. Seriously.”

The line brings warmth and lightness to the identity: a lifestyle built on enjoyment, ease, and freedom, not overt luxury.
