Sometimes the original way of creating environmental graphics works best and when using these vinyls you're not limited to the texture of the material, quality of the print or ink colours available. You're palette extends to using metallics, luminous, textured, transparent , translucent, and you can combine them to create some very interesting effects, especially when applied to glass.

It's also a good material for wayfinding applications where the information needs updating and perfect for complicated graphics that need to be sharp and clean when the viewer is close up.

Often overlooked, these materials can be the best quality application for single colour designs, and multiple colous if layered, brighter and often more durable than printed media.


The door signs were made from material traditionally used for road signage, this was to tie in with the interiors pep-wall material in the breakout areas. Also used floor to ceiling to designate the utility areas and cafes around the office spaces to great effect.

The dots used to partially seclude the occupants of every room were half applied to one side of the glass and every other dot was applied to the other side. This gave the glass texture with an embeded pulse of 'information' made out of metallic dots of different colours, depending on the floor, being transmitted around the building.

Between the boardroom and reception area is a glass wall with a vinyl cut semi-translucent printed film applied to it. The occupants are secluded enough and if the meeting room is being used, which is quite often, then everyone who comes into reception can witness the activity without distracting them.
