Quenby Works

Wayfinding for a converted mill with four entrances, none of which is the front. Cut and fixed rather than printed, so it ages at the same rate as the building.

Raking light throwing hard diagonal shadows across a flight of stone steps. — Printed at grade 1.85, baked into the file.

The building tells you where you are better than any sign does, so the system names the parts the building already has — the yard, the loading floor, the tower — and never invents a zone letter.

Every sign is one material and one operation: 3mm plate, laser cut, no paint. On a wall that has been three colours in forty years, a painted sign is a dated sign.

Concrete ramps curving past each other, seen from directly above.

A white external stair reduced to three planes of light.

Oversized dimensional lettering mounted along an interior wall.
