Landsec plc - Victoria Street Headquarters wayfinding

In December 2016, Landsec completed their fit out of 52,000 square foot, multi award-winning new Headquarters at 80/100 Victoria Street, London. Designed to accommodate 470 staff on one floor, the company's strategic vision of “One Company, One Space, One Vision” was fully realised in this elegant new space.

We were delighted when Landsec asked us to design additional touches to KKS's interiors scheme; a wayfinding and signage system to help people navigate the space, which was devoid of any landmarks, to be ready for the launch in January 2017.  With a new brand identity about to be rolled out just weeks after the new offices opened, our brief was to produce designs which referenced neither the existing, nor the 'new' brand.  

Following the colour-coded convention used in the interior design to annotate work groups, we used high level wraps on the buildings' interior columns, to give from-a-distance, long views of locations.  On a more 'local' level, classic, totem fingerpost signs were designed to give 360° direction from multiple locations around the office.  We are glad to say that although intended to be a very short term induction measure, the signage remains to this day and has become integrated into the design of the offices.
