Project brief

Working closely with WCS Care from the initial design stages, we developed a cohesive signage and environmental graphics scheme tailored to a modern care setting. The project required a balance between bold visual appeal and practical functionality, particularly in supporting residents with dementia through clear and engaging wayfinding solutions.

The branding scheme extended across both internal and external areas of the building, ensuring a consistent identity throughout.

Key objectives

  • Design and install custom internal graphics and murals
  • Deliver clear, visually distinctive directional signage
  • Integrate room identifiers with themed motifs
  • Apply external signage across building elevations
  • Maintain brand consistency across all touchpoints
  • Solutions

    Themed interior graphics and murals

    Artwork was carefully designed with highly colourful visuals to enhance communal and circulation spaces. Graphics are meant to create a warm, stimulating and uplifting atmosphere.

    Dementia-friendly wayfinding

    Custom-designed directional signage was developed with clear typography and visual cues. The artwork uses room identifier motifs to support recognition and memory.

    External building signage

    Brand presence displayed across multiple building elevations that uses durable materials suitable for long-term exterior use. This gives a strong, professional first impression for visitors.

    End-to-end project delivery

    Collaboration from concept and design stages, manufacture using high-quality materials, and professional installation across the full site

    Key learnings

    In specialist dementia care environments, signage must do more than inform, it must support independence, orientation and wellbeing. Thoughtfully designed graphics, strong visual cues and consistent branding can significantly enhance daily life for residents while creating a positive and professional environment for staff and visitors.

    By combining creativity with functionality, this project demonstrates how environmental branding can transform a care facility into a vibrant, welcoming and supportive place to live.
