EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN

TURNER acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the many lands upon which we gather, work and journey across. We recognise their ongoing connections to land, sea and community and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

We are committed to working alongside First Nations people to advocate for Connecting with Country principles through the work we do while operating on land that always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.

Experiential Design prioritises human interaction with the built environment to shape how we connect. It uses design elements to build an emotional connection to the place or brand to immerse occupants in a narrative. It creates a sense of “wow” to build memorable connections with their visitors.
BRANDING PLACE
Signage is an opportunity to navigate through space, but more than that... It can bring together the brand language & the signage standards. It is a design element to create a distinct environmental identity. Continuing the branded journey throughout the built environment.

Mixed Use
MESA extends its branding to the public domain, through its integration into the podium and playground, to create a unique place and experience.
Engagement extends to all uses and experiences from adults to kids, playing to observing, interacting and remembering. MESA creates a memorable space that extends to all visitors, day and night, with an equal presence both on the ground as well as to residents observing from within their apartments.


DAY AND NIGHT PRESENCE






Subtle identity throughout the project allows a strong language to develop without distracting the audience. The tone of the brand identity has been considered throughout all areas to develop a well-balanced design.












MESA’s Snack Street is inspired by the colourful nature of vintage Hong Kong with bright multi-coloured graphics, lighting and furniture. Retro-style fittings and objects including stacked storage, seating, and over-head lanterns are reminiscent of 70’s Hong-Kong. This is further enhanced by the use of exciting, bold typography and neon-lighting.

SANTA SOPHIA CATHOLIC COLLEGE BOX HILL, NSW
Education
Designed For Learning
Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta (CEDP) is creating a contemporary preschool to postschool learning community in one of the fastest growing areas in Sydney.
Santa Sophia Catholic College at Box Hill consists of six storey towers with roof-top sporting facilities across four linked buildings, a knowledge centre, and fitness research hub.
BVN’s design envisions the four interconnected building as “a series of islands in a sea of decks.” Outdoor terraces surrounding the buildings will create spaces for learning and playing.

VISUAL IDENTITY
Keeping to a minimal aesthetic, a versatile family of signage was developed which could seamlessly evolve across all the visual elements of the environmental branding. All forms are a direct translation of architectural forms and colours.


Glass Safety Decal & Identification INQUIRY HUBS
Santa Sophia College’s four linked buildings will include learning areas, creative and performance hubs, rooftop play spaces, and sports facilities for 1860 kindergarten to year 12 students and 130 staff.

CATHOLIC EARLY LEARNING CENTRE

CELC’s learning spaces will inspire 60 students aged from 3-5 years to explore, innovate and thrive in their learning adventure.
The CELC graphic strikes the perfect balance between capturing the wonder and enchantment of childhood, and a learning environment.




GREEN TRAIL




The ‘Green Trail’ consists of 12 sustainable stations located throughout the public areas on the ground and first floor, each designed to inform the students and visitors about the key features and concept of a Green Star building in a playful, bold and youthful approach.










The environmental graphics are colourful and exciting, but also provide students with a more engaging and innovative place to learn. Translating educational processes through visual means is highly impactful for children.
Data needs to be presented in a fun and engaging way to maintain interest for both children and young adults.
Younger ages: Combining vibrant playful illustrations with large key facts.
Younger adults: Simplified data or information, overlaid onto design.
Students can learn about sustainable transport, water management, pollution, healthy food, and energy, to name a few things. By integrating this information into the built environment - such as around the playground, water stations, and classroom windows - students are more likely to engage in the topic.






















Floor features are located throughout the site - providing resources for students to learn about things such as the periodic table, numbers and counting, different animals, and songs. This is gamified through playground activities such as hopscotch.

The design strategy for Pemulwuy stage 3 embraces the Aboriginal Housing Company’s (AHC) emphasis on culture and community and the significance of the site through the built form narrative, an inclusive family model for students and the integration of key public domain spaces and indigenous public art.
Turner created the framework for artists to trace their narrative into the urban fabric. The integrated public artwork ‘family of turtles’ was engaged by AHC to pass on the story of a culture of support and nurturing within the community.
Coordinating with the artist, Turner integrated a variety of pieces into strategic facade panels and key public ceiling and wall elements

ALL OUR BOYS WESTMEAD, NSW
public Art
The St Vincent’s Boys’ Home stood on this site from 1896 to 1985 and represents a significant layer of Westmead’s cultural fabric. One page from the story of this place is of All Our Boys, who lived and worked through their childhood here and are part of the essence of this site.
Over 90 years the residents sustained themselves with enterprise, not the least by a print house. At its peak in 1943, with an all boy labor force, it published, printed, and sold 10,000 copies of their in-house magazine ‘Our Boys.’
The artwork depicts a suburban fence; a consistent, regular, and resilient form which the artist subtly twists while delving into the duality of all matter. On closer inspection the work is a meandering row of 87 reflective, individual structural pillars; each one strong, bold, and unique.






“These are the boys we depend on Our hope for the future-and, when Deeds noble and great for the world’s work await, Such boys will then prove to be men.”
L.C. Hardy, Feb 1, 1929, “Our Own Paper”

The main entry point to Highline on Student Lane presented an opportunity to create an integrated artwork in the form of a gateway. Inspiration was drawn from the unique location of the artwork. The entrance zone between the two buildings became the interface between private and public domains, contemporary and heritage sites.


The design intent for this artwork is to transform the gate and the fence beyond its practical purpose. Aiming to challenge the concept of a gated development, we transformed the gateway to be an artwork which provides security but does not block or cease the visual permeability. A gateway which announces the point of arrival leading into the residential podium.


SANCTUARY PHASE 6
WENTWORTH POINT, NSW
Mixed Use
The corner of Sanctuary Phase 6 was the forefront of the site and Sanctuary precinct. Directly adjacent to the Parramatta river, high activity retail precinct and park amenity, the location warranted an expression to public amenity and engagement.
Linking to the overall precinct theme of “One with nature” the sculpture takes references from its surroundings, depicting the ‘ribbons of water’. Using the form to engage people, it allows the artwork to become integrated into its environment, and serve as more than just a sculpture.

Under changing times new people came but we are always here – under the leather.
This artwork references a layer of history on this site - from an origin of tanning came a refined, fragrant, elegant and finely considered craft culture. The business has moved but the site history remains.


Detailing LOBBY AWNING
For generations “NSW Leather Co” was the bricks and mortar home of a quintessential Australian craft - a saddle making and leather craft hub in the heart of South Sydney.

The inspiration for the artwork at the entry of the lobby was drawn from the aesthetics of hanging leathers within the warehouse environment.





Visual Identity DOOR HANDLE
The fluid language of lines was incorporated in all details of the entry point. A customised door handle was designed to reinforce the holistic visual identity at every touch point.

WAY FINDING
Strategic wayfinding aims to naturally move, guide & direct people in an unknown and new environment. The key to a successful wayfinding method is inclusivity and the ability to guide beyond disabilities and language barriers. Through thoughtful designs, wayfinding lends itself to the art of placemaking. By evoking confidence, it informs the community with certainty.

Designed with a holistic approach, from the built form, the landscaping through to the signage and wayfinding; the experience of Meridian is a statement in luxury and seamless design.

This form not only responds to the contours of this site, but also the fluid lines of the water and parks that surround the site. These curvaceous lines commence at the point of arrival in the two lobbies and extend through the buildings.
The signage and wayfinding echo the architectural form. The colours are chosen from a classic monochromatic palette of whites and dark greys that bring a sense of calmness to the composition.






CONNECTING THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC DOMAINS
Particular care has been taken to fit Meridian Miranda into it’s urban context and the openness to the public lane on the West side of the site. The embellishment of this space forms part of this - a public mural has recently been added to this space to make it even more valued by the local community. The mural is reflective of the endemic features of Meridian’s natural surrounds, such as the flora and fauna.

TALLAWONG VILLAGE TALLAWONG, NSW

Tallawong is a local name of Aboriginal significance - it is derived from the Dharug word ‘dalawng’, for the apple gum tree.
Inspired by the architectural structure of the apply gum flowers, Tallawong’s signage is designed to establish a sculptural placemaking identity. Blossoming, interwoven linear elements are scattered throughout the village in key navigational locations, using varied scale and tessellated placement of messaging to create a unique, contemporary wayfinding signage system.

Spanning 2,000 sqm over 5 storeys, City of Sydney’s new Creative Hub lives in the Greenland Centre, in the heart of the CBD. Designed to offer creative facilities to Sydney’s budding arts community.
Turner had the privilege of designing the wayfinding system for the Creative Hub, creating a graphic language that would enhance the custom facilities being offered and make the space an inspiring, youthful and enjoyable creative zone for artists to thrive.
We created a graphic system that reflected the innovative site. The concept of the graphics focused on the importance of connection, seen through the continuous artworks throughout the space.
Off-setting shapes and using the stenciled format was how we brought into the design the youthful, playful tone, creating inverted graphics and stenciled signage throughout.


Wayfinding Journey ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERIENCE
The wayfinding system needed to appeal to a range of audiences and age groups. This meant careful consideration of the clarity of the wayfinding content and the design of the graphic system.
The concept of the graphics focused on the importance of connection, seen through the continuous artworks throughout the space.

ANISS ADLER ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR HEAD OF EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN DISCIPLINE
Art Direction, Environmental Graphics, Wayfinding & Branding
EXPERIENCE > 20 years
Thinking outside the box and pushing boundaries are innate to Aniss. What the graphic designer and artist calls uncompromising is more a clear-eyed ambition to make a vision a reality. She questions ingrained ideas about how things should function and, in doing so, opens new avenues to explore and ways to captivate people. It doesn’t matter whether she’s commissioning public art installations or conceptualising and designing them, Aniss never loses sight of her goal: to create moments that awaken and delight passers-by and regulars alike.
Since starting at Turner in 2018 Aniss built the Experiential Design division from the ground up – initially covering wayfinding and signage, she expanded the department to encapsulate feature installations and public art. Aniss has ensured that
the experiences within and outside a project – from wayfinding to art installations – are integral to its identity and furthers people’s engagement with it. Aniss’s problem-solving capabilities and understanding of stakeholder needs and dynamics are mingled with an intuitive creativity. Whether it’s making an idea work harder for a limited budget, utilising a material beyond its original purpose or creating new ways for people to experience and navigate projects.
Alongside her team, she brings an energy and spark to every project which resonates throughout every stage.
