Selected work · interactive case
A guest-experience preview for a small stay on Ocam Ocam Beach, Palawan — one master image, seven lit zones, and fly-ins into every corner of the stay, from sunrise to night.
What we do
Most studios do one piece. We develop the entire idea of your eco-stay and keep it coherent — from the concept and interior to the images and the website — so everything tells the same story. And we build it together with the people who live there.
We develop your eco-stay from the foundation — its character, its spaces and interior, and the guest experience — as one coherent idea, not a list of features. Local makers and hosts join as paid partners from the start, with a say in what they share.
We show the place before it exists: AI visualisation, photography and film — including aerial drone — so you, your investors and your future guests can feel it long before opening day.
We turn the whole idea into a website and digital experience, so guests can feel the place online and booking directly feels natural.
How we work
A clear rhythm of making and deciding together: I shape each stage, you steer it.
Together we share the place, the goals, and the constraints.
I develop the concept, the layout, and the guest experience.
I create the visualisations and the story — stills, film and aerial drone.
I build the website and hand over the complete presentation.
About Ilse
Ilse Tanis works where hospitality, design, and storytelling meet — drawn to small places that want to do right by both people and nature.
She believes the difference between a nice stay and an unforgettable one lives in the details most places overlook. The studio exists to design those details, and to make them visible.
Guided by freedom, creativity, and discovery.
