Derby Law School invited us to design a range of wall graphics and school wayfinding solutions within their brand new building in the heart of the city. We used an eclectic mix of cut stainless steel and edge-lit acrylics for the wayfinding strategy. Each of the six levels has a ‘Floor Summary’ made from a sandwich of orange edge-lit acrylic and hi-gloss white perspex. The combination is reversed to ‘pick-out’ each relevant floor number to create stunning results.
The six-storey building needed a suite of school wayfinding that was primarily located by the central lift shaft on each floor. This was reinforced in the stairwells for students using the stairs.
Our concept for this area and the boardroom wallpaper, was based on the document that began the foundation for English law in 1215 AD, the Great Charter; Magna Carta. The use of this famous text reflects the building’s historical location and connects with the Law School’s primary function. Pages of this historical document were vectorised and retouched to create intricate cut-paths for window film and wall coverings.
The ground floor ‘Hub’ is home to several offices, all requiring varying levels of privacy. Some street-side offices needed full privacy, whilst internal meeting rooms adopted a cut-dusted design. Our studio team found inspiration from the infamous Magna Carta, the foundation of English Law. The script itself was transformed into an intricate cut-file that was weeded out to create a stunning fret-cut-style window graphic. This design allowed a limited amount of privacy for staff and students.
