California DGS 10th & O Street L O C AT I O N :
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
SIZE:
478,000 SQ. FT.
SERVICES:
SIGNAGE & WAYFINDING
The 10th & O Street Office Building will become a temporary home for legislative and executive officials for the duration of the Capitol Annex renovation. It will serve as an inspirational symbol of democracy, sustainability and efficiency. The ideas of nature, sustainability and harmony informed the wayfinding design. The highly legible system meant that the designers could use normal sized signs for areas with longer sight lines, like at the communicating stair or long corridors. The designers found a creative way to integrate signage in the two-story totem that connects the first and second levels. The sign family is modular, sophisticated, logical and accessible. If after 5 years, the building becomes a Class-A office building, the system will easily adapt for future use.

The prominent exterior monument design is now being adopted as a standard for future projects.

Wayne County Justice Center L O C AT I O N :

SERVICES:
SIGNAGE & WAYFINDING
The design for this justice center communicates a unified vision about its important civic role. The complex includes a criminal courthouse, detention facility, juvenile detention facility and administrative offices on a site that previously housed a shuttered automotive plant. The design team conducted Audience Scripts to better understand a visitor’s experience of the facility. The study identified the user groups and key touchpoints, and mapped their journey to ensure seamless and intuitive wayfinding. The use of common interior, exterior and site materials along with understated design gestures and daylightfilled spaces creates a cohesive campus environment.

The design embraces the concept of community policing by inviting community members into the facility via a transparent and open lobby and providing a flexible-use community/training room located prominently at the front entry. Community engagement was critical to the success. Local stakeholder groups were engaged during every phase so that the facility can best serve the community. Sustainability was also a goal for the Village and a tower feature that identifies the building also incorporates solar hot water heating arrays directly onto the facade design.

The external appearance of the tower projects an image of robustness and longevity, in line with the history of the Hong Kong Police Force. The form and materiality of the wayfinding elements visually communicate order, and their messages are easy to engage with because of their clarity and simplicity. Fonts are familiar and easy to read. The coloration is neutral. And their locations are anticipatory of the clients’ needs for direction.
