External signage was to be of simple yet elegant branding, reflecting the heritage and quality of the surrounding environment. A logistical installation challenge, necessitated close partnerships with external suppliers to ensure a seamless and coordinated installation.

Internal signage was formed of a dark bronze material that provided a look of consistency, clarity, and quality. Designed with the intent of extenuating the look and feel of external signage, throughout the inside of the building.

The building was skillfully transformed from a rather tired 1980’s structure, into a Grade A office building. Fit to serve as the headquarters for a number of highly prestigious companies.
