Private members club · Restaurant · Lounge
A high gloss red seal. A gold letter. A second floor door on the most beautiful street in Provenza. This guide is how Santuario looks, sounds, shines and glows, from the member card in a wallet to the color of the walls at 3am.
Private by day. Legendary by night.
01 · The story
Walk Provenza after dark and you will pass it without knowing. A quiet door. A narrow stair. A red seal pressed with a single gold letter.
Most people keep walking. Members climb.
Upstairs, the noise of the street falls away. Santuario is the private members club Medellín has been waiting for: one second floor sanctuary in the heart of Provenza, built for the travelers who fly in for a week and the locals who never leave. It lives four lives in a single day. Most rooms get one.
Baby blue morning pours through white sheers. Gold catches the rim of a coffee cup. A deal closes at the corner table, a lunch runs long at the window, a laptop stays open on black velvet until four. Bring the client. Bring the friend. Bring nothing but your key. Why rent a desk when you can hold a key to Santuario?
At six the door opens to the city. Neon pink floods the black walls, candles light black linen, and gold flashes on every glass. The kitchen sends out what nobody else in Medellín serves: Italian sushi, silk pasta rolled where the rice should be. Steak for the table. Champagne from the Altar. The reservation you wanted is already gone by Tuesday.
At midnight the tables disappear. The walls sink into velvet maroon, the DJ steps into the booth, and the gold on the bar starts to glow. It is not a nightclub. It is the room the nightclub wishes it was: the best dressed people in Medellín, one sound system, and a door that says no more often than yes.
While Medellín sleeps, Santuario opens again. The walls glow velvet purple and slowly burn to orange as the sun climbs over the valley. The music rises with it. Six in the morning to four in the afternoon, every Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A sunrise party this city has never seen.
One address. Four lives. One key.

02 · The Seal
The logo is a wax seal reborn as jewelry: a perfectly round red disc in an ultra high gloss lacquer finish, a gold leaf S, and gold leaf lettering around the edge. A seal means sealed, private and personal. It is the promise of the club before a single word is read.
The primary Seal. Doors, menus, the app and social.
For red grounds and all three member cards. Gold leaf S and lettering on black gloss.
The red gloss Seal works on white paper, white plates and daylight photography.
When gloss cannot be reproduced: embroidery, screen printing, stamps, anything under 48px.
One color hot foil on black boxes, napkins, invitations and the door plate.
Receipts, rubber stamps and legal paperwork.
Barlow Condensed 500, tracked wide, in gold leaf or white. Used beside the Seal, never instead of it on first contact.
03 · On the table
White high gloss porcelain with a single gold leaf S at the center and a hairline gold rim. The plate is the logo most guests will photograph, so it carries the S alone: no disc, no lettering, nothing to crowd the food.
04 · Color
Black, white, seal red and gold leaf are the brand. They appear on the logo, the cards, the plates, the menus and every screen. The room's lighting colors live in the light only.
05 · Member cards
Every card is high gloss, cut to standard wallet size and heavy in the hand. The tier is the color; the black gloss Seal sits big and centered on every card. Hover a card to catch the light.
06 · Light
Nothing is rebuilt between services. Black walls, black furniture and white sheers stay put; uplights washing the walls change the room in sixty seconds. Gold is the constant in every scene.
Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 4pm. Soft baby blue on the walls, sheers open to daylight, warm gold pin spots on the tables. Bright enough to work, calm enough to stay.
6pm to 11pm. Hot pink walls, black linen, candles and gold on the tables. Keep a warm white pin spot on every plate so the food never turns pink in photos.
Midnight to 4am, 5am on weekends. Deep maroon that reads like velvet, gold light on the bar and the booth, tables stored, the room pulled close.
Saturday to Monday, 6am to 4pm. Doors open in velvet purple, then the walls warm toward orange over the first hours as the real sun rises outside the sheers.
07 · The room
A second floor room with a 9 ft ceiling wins by feeling close, not tall. Everything dark disappears so the light and the gold can take over.
08 · Type
Santuario shares its typefaces with Boxhaus and sets them its own way: lighter weights, wider spacing, uppercase headlines.
Weight 500. Uppercase. Tracked from 0.04em on headlines to 0.42em on the wordmark.
Weights 400 to 600. Sentence case for everything people read. Uppercase with wide tracking for labels and buttons.
09 · Voice
Santuario speaks like the host who knows your name and keeps your secrets. Short sentences. A hook, a picture, a door left open. Every line is about the guest, never about the building.
10 · Digital
One glossy red action per screen, gold for everything secondary, black everywhere else.
Primary: seal red with a high gloss sheen, one per screen. Secondary: gold outline that fills with gold on hover. Ghost: white text for quiet exits.
11 · Production
Glass and gold leaf only exist in print as special finishes: spot UV varnish, hot foil and metallic inks. Every supplier also gets the flat Seal for embroidery, stamps and anything small.
Real gold decoration on porcelain usually is not safe in microwaves and can wear in commercial dishwashers. Ask the supplier for a commercial grade fired gold decal and a care rating before ordering in volume.
A neon pink wall wash will tint plates and faces. Put a warm white pin spot over every table so food and guests photograph true.
Black velvet for heavy commercial seating, rated for high abrasion and flame retardant. Sheers beside lights and the DJ booth must be flame retardant too.
Baby blue, hot pink, maroon, purple and orange belong to the lights. Keep them off the logo, the cards, the menus and the buttons so Santuario is recognizable in every scene.
Say "a sunrise party this city has never seen" rather than "the first and only" until it is verified. Keep other companies' names out of public ads.
