Mixed-Use Interior Wayfinding
A Complex Problem
Delivering a cohesive experience across a mixed-use development requires balancing function, brand, and budget. Azure brought together commercial and residential spaces with different user needs while requiring a unified identity throughout the property. The client needed a wayfinding and placemaking program that could guide tenants and visitors while elevating the environment without exceeding budget.
A Simple Solution
Hi Signs delivered the project through a design-build framework, working with the client from concept through fabrication and installation. By integrating design, material selection, and constructability early, we streamlined decisions, reduced rework, and aligned the final product with vision and budget. The design combined cost-efficient vinyl applications with 3D metal features to create depth and impact. This elevated key moments while maintaining efficiency across the project.
Hi Signs developed a cohesive theme across wall graphics, window treatments, and wayfinding elements. The wayfinding system met ADA requirements using translucent tactile signage with a clean, modern aesthetic.
The Result
The completed environment delivers a seamless blend of function and design. Tenants and visitors are guided clearly through the space, while the layered material approach enhances the overall experience. By leveraging a design-build approach, the project achieved a high-end result with efficient use of budget, proving that thoughtful design and smart material choices can elevate a space without compromise.
