marker
The marker is a new concept in wayfinding - a totally unique and innovative information device.
Aimed at cycle routes and walkways, he is extremely flexible in the way he carries information - from the vitreous top cap (with the ability to carry graphic information on all four sides and on top) - down to the double-sided infill panel. Whether marking out a nature trail, or providing interpretive information at a heritage site, the marker is set to become a valuable addition to any wayfinding system.

marker tall
The same construction as the marker with a larger information top cap providing a strong visible presence in any urban or rural landscape.
Equally suitable as a building ID point or as a heritage beacon/marker identifying a place of interest and with enough information space available to accommodate a breadth of branding and information graphics.

marker bike
The bike marker is the most basic form of the standard marker than can be used for a variety of different uses from bike racks in clusters to boundary markers.
There is an opportunity to incorporate graphic elements to the bike stand, useful if the bike racks are sited outside a key location (for example, a train station) or if there is a desire to communicate with cyclists (for example, to warn them of the dangers of leaving their bike unlocked).

map
Our maps are very effective communication devices that convey a wealth of diverse information in a visually attractive, easy to interpret and accessible manner. Based on international standards we have developed our own best practise mapping conventions and applied them to the challenges encountered by pedestrians wishing to understand their location, find their destination quickly or easily navigate around the public realm.
information graphics
Our team of graphic designers have specialised expertise in information design for the built environment. We understand the challenges of delivering information in a 3-dimensional format, where physical conditions such as lighting, reflection and crowds of people can all have a significant impact on its effectiveness. With reference to international standards, we test layout options to ensure information is presented in the most intuitive and easily understood manner.
