Introduction
Building signage has to answer to the architecture. Get the proportion, position or illumination wrong and the sign fights the elevation it sits on.
We work from the facade grid — aligning to structural bays, mullion lines and material changes — so the identity looks like part of the building rather than something applied to it.
Applications
- Entrance and lobby identification
- Facade-mounted corporate identity
- Multi-tenant fascia bands
- Government and civic building signage
- Industrial and warehouse identification
Why it matters
WHAT YOU GET
THAT YOU WOULD MISS.
- 01
Aligned to the facade grid
Setting out referenced to the building own geometry rather than centred by eye.
- 02
Day and night resolution
The composition is checked in both states — many facade signs work in one and fail in the other.
- 03
Substrate-appropriate fixing
Cladding, curtain wall, blockwork and composite panel each demand a different fixing strategy.

Common questions
How do you make sure signage doesn't clash with the building's architecture?
Building signage has to answer to the architecture, not fight it. We work from the facade grid — aligning to structural bays, mullion lines and material changes — so the identity looks like part of the building rather than something applied on top of it. Setting out is referenced to the building's own geometry rather than centred by eye, and cladding, curtain wall, blockwork and composite panel are each treated as needing a different fixing strategy rather than one default approach applied everywhere.
Do you check how the sign looks at night as well as during the day?
Yes — day and night resolution is checked as two separate states, not assumed to follow from one design pass. A facade composition that reads correctly in daylight can fail after dark if illumination isn't planned against it specifically, which is one of the more common failure points in building-scale signage. This applies across entrance and lobby identification, facade-mounted corporate identity, multi-tenant fascia bands, government and civic building signage, and industrial or warehouse identification — each checked in both states before handover.
