A prime retail destination following a major redevelopment programme, generating over 20,000 sq ft of flagship retail and entertainment offer, awarded with world leading certification Fitwel, recognising building health for all.
Appointed by Queensberry, we were asked to design and develop the wayfinding strategy and signage scheme, along with assisting the client design team through sensitive planning negotiations, local community engagement and tender and fit out.
After completing the initial design stages, we carried out extensive development of the 3D surfaces in house beforeadvancing to cutting edge full sized prototypes. The brand is distinctively interpreted by the 3D illuminated logos with diverse lighting of 82 interchangeable lighting controls both to the face and halo. The centre management have full control of the illumination to mark events and set moods.
The scheme enables customers to navigate easily and will discover some playful, social media friendly environmental graphics along the way to encourage interaction within the space.
