Where architectural identities are typically characterised by their use of minimalism and restraint, we opted to incorporate rich colour, implied textures and bold typography to create a visual language that makes the identity distinct and memorable while reflecting the practice’s commitment to addressing the critical challenges of modern day realities.

 

With the wordmark as the point of origin, the identity is built around a grid-based system that can be compressed and extended to fit a variety of contexts. These include a corporate profile, business cards, stationery, title blocks, signage and website.
