Richer textures, rougher edges, and non-minimalist approaches in this week’s projects, with work from Buenos Aires, Atlanta, and Barcelona. Casa Borges by B. Estudio Casa Borges is a hostel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with only three rooms, making it more like an Airbnb than a hostel proper. Its homespun appeal is amplified by the rubber stamp aesthetic designed by local firm B. Studio that, in part, literally uses a rubber stamp to generate business cards affordably and, in other part, it deploys a playful illustration with a rugged finish to complement all the rubber-stamping. The logo, typography, and illustration all have a charming, welcoming personality that are a nice respite from the ultra-modern, super-hip vibe some hostels try to sell you on.
