Brand Environment Design
Brand Environment Design ensures that all brand items originate from the core values of the organisation. Every item produced is an outcome of this process.

WHY ? The Motrac building was the next phase in creating the Pon campus in Almere, the Netherlands, which already included the PonCat building which we had completed the year before. The campus will eventually include a headquarters building, and possibly an academy. The Motrac building, although physically connected to the PonCat building, must reflect the unique values of the Motrac company.
