# at a glance

A Manchester cocktail bar built on timing — and a site with the same patience.

# problem

Turnhour is a cocktail bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter whose whole identity is timing — drinks that take the minutes they need.

The site had to carry that patience as a brand idea while still moving fast: signatures, trios, booking, and room hire each one step away.

# approach

Designed the site around the timing motif — measured pacing and typography that reads the way the room feels.

Kept the practical paths blunt: menu, booking, and room hire reachable without ceremony from anywhere on the page.

Made the patience aesthetic, not literal — it lives in the drinks, not in the load time.

# outcome

Live. The brand's slowness reads as intent; the site itself is quick.
