This global staffing agency needed signature signage
at its world headquarters to provide greater visibility in the urban
environment.
The internally illuminated main identifier that we
developed stands 16 feet tall, and its three-sided design makes it
visible to traffic approaching from any angle.
The warm metallic
silver cabinet color conveys strength and permanency. A floating limestone
platform is incorporated into the base with a dry basin and decorative
stone fill. Textured cast glass panels at the three corners soften
the silhouette during the day and diffuse the internal illumination
at night.
By importing the sign design,
site plans and landscaping elements into 3D rendering software, we
were able to test sight lines and assure optimum visibility from
multiple angles before the sign was installed.
Secondary identifiers marking campus entrances
and showing the street address borrow design cues from the main identifier,
including the metallic cabinet and convex curved faces.
