Conceived with the building facade, three large-scale numerals of cast acrylic are mounted directly on the glass curtain, which was fabricated with the mounting holes in their exact position.

The design eliminated the need for architectural signage lighting. During the day, the curves are intensified by the reflections of natural light. At night, the numerals are strongly defined against the illuminated lobby.

The illuminated architectural signage was designed to harmoniously sit on the high-rise facade.

The logo letter-heights and spaces were precisely adapted to the building’s architectural structure.

The exterior and interior signage is consistently incorporated into the building architecture and finishes.

The vertical format of the interior signage, anchored within the reveals of the wall panel, is a daring departure from the conventional door plaque.
