  • University of Bedfordshire tender awarded

    2012 is off to a good start with our appointment to develop a wayfinding scheme for the Univeristy of Bedfordshire.

    Beginning with the development of a pilot scheme, our work will see us develop a scheme to unite the 2 campuses which make up the Univerity; Luton, and Bedford.

    The project starts with a research and analysis process being carried out in February which will provide insight into the users profiles and usability problems experienced by students, staff and visitors.

  • Castle Howard Revisited

    In 2004 we were awarded work to develop a complete map and wayfinding scheme for Castle Howard, York.

    That was (in 2004) our largest and most complex scheme, which we were very very proud of. Six years later I revisited the scheme to survey amend the maps used within Ray Wood. This gave an oportunity to look at the scheme, which is standing up well, and looks well used.

    My main coment is the quality of digital printing back then. Not a patch on current technology, and clearly struggling with UV and sticky fingers.

    Also, our design and typography, which six years on still looks good - but to my critical eye, some our signs have pretty naive layouts… six years ago Peter Andre was a national hero though !

  • Christ's College

    Our latest project for the Spring 2011 sees us at Christ's College Cambridge, once home to Charles Darwin, John Milton and many distinguished fellows.

    Compromise
    The aim of the project is to define and deliver a scheme which helps visitors and guests find their way through the various courts and gardens, to a range of delightful destinations, without compromising the historic and listed heritage of the building.

    Signs
    Unlike schemes we have developed for National Express and the NHS, this is an opportunity to develop a scheme which does not rely on signs!

  • Leicester Cathedral Audit

    We were approached by the Cannon Chancellor of Leicester Cathedral, David Monteith, to visit the Cathedral and review designs put forward by their designers for a Cathedral wayfinding scheme.

    Conducting audits for other designers work is increasing, and our skill and experience offers unique insight and constructive critique for the benefit of a scheme.

    It also offers clients the opportunity to seek impartial advice and feel confident in their design decisions.

    Our audit report has been taken on-board by the Cathedral Fabric Committee with suggested changes implemented by the scheme designers.
