The brief
Cedar Hour is a sauna and cold plunge club in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The club opened with bookings by text, tracked in a shared spreadsheet at the front desk. The founders wanted members to book sessions, buy passes, and join waitlists in an app instead.
What I did
The club had opened without a real identity, so I designed a wordmark, chose two typefaces, and pulled colors from the cedar and steel of the space. Then I designed the booking app around a member’s week, with open sessions, passes, and guest invites on one screen. The website introduces the club and sends people to the app to book. I built the site and worked with the club’s developer on the app.
After launch
Members book, reschedule, and cancel in the app, and the front desk no longer handles bookings by text.
