Town & City Wayfinding
Designing large-scale wayfinding systems that connect civic buildings, public spaces, transport links and cultural destinations into one clear, cohesive urban experience.
Towns and cities need to guide a wide range of users such as residents, visitors, commuters, families, tourists, cyclists. Each with different expectations and levels of familiarity. Our urban wayfinding strategies simplify movement, strengthen local identity, and support regeneration across the wider environment.
