CASE STUDY - > 19 Cornwall Street, Birmingham.
Kier Property took a 1991 Birmingham office back to its frame and rebuilt it as 139,000 sq ft of Grade A workspace. All-electric, net zero carbon in operation, and one of the most sustainable buildings in the city. It was being let while it was being finished. So nothing we made could be bonded to a wall.

The wayfinding family runs to 17 panels, ground to the fifth-floor roof terrace. Frosted acrylic, with the lettering cut clean through to an oak veneer panel behind, fixed on our patented Jigsaw™ system: a concealed rail carrying lockable, interchangeable panels. A swap takes minutes and leaves no mark.

In reception, the tenant directory is machined aluminium flat bar set into a curved fluted timber wall, with freestanding letters that lift straight out of each shelf. A tenant change is a set of letters, not a new sign.

We're very proud of our long-standing works across Birmingham, in partnership with Kier Construction and Associated Architects.

xsign partnered with creative agency f.r.a. on the signage project at The Kimmeridge in Oxford. f.r.a. led on the creative design process and we manufactured the signage as per the specification. The Kimmeridge is a purpose built residential apartment block West of Oxford city centre, providing modern accommodation in a thriving local community.

The external signage above the reception entrance includes reverse built-up logo and letters with 30mm thick acrylic inserts with face illumination, mounted to a bespoke metal framework with mechanical fixings to the concrete soffit. We also feature an external projecting sign with internal illumination, and a range of 2mm thick aluminium wayfinding and directional signage.

The internal signage includes bespoke aluminium mitred-angle frame signage with black Foamalux bonded panels and architectural vinyl applied to the face to create a stunning visual. Additionally, we have supplied a range of 2mm thick aluminium discs and wayfinding directional signage.

This is UNTIL, Canary Wharf.

UNTIL brings more than 40 health and wellness specialisms together under one roof, from physiotherapy and osteopathy to dentistry, nutrition and medical aesthetics. When a brand like that opens in a landmark building in a landmark location, the signage has to explain everything on offer before anyone steps inside.

We were appointed by UNTIL to deliver the full brand signage, window graphics and glass manifestation at YY London, the striking net zero building set over the dock. The scheme runs from a two-metre cut-vinyl logotype that reads clear across the water, to a window graphic listing every specialist in one clean column, to glazing manifestation matched to UNTIL's palette, so a safety requirement becomes part of the brand rather than an afterthought.

xsign designed, manufactured and installed the internal and external signage at the Victoria Philip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute at the University of Cambridge Biomedical Campus. This scheme is in addition to a number of signage projects we have delivered at the campus, including Royal Papworth Hospital.

The VPD-HRLI brings together heart and lung researchers from across academia to help discover breakthroughs in treatment and prevention. We were tasked to design a high quality signage and wayfinding scheme.

The external crest and lettering is manufactured from 3mm thick aluminium, with a powder coating and a gloss applied.

The internal signage scheme makes use of hollow aluminium numerals, directory panels, projecting aluminium pictograms, 5mm thick black acrylic panels throughout.

The Global Health Building, University of Oxford.

We're proud to have delivered the complete signage and wayfinding scheme for the University of Oxford's new Global Health Building at Old Road Campus, one of the University's first Passivhaus buildings, bringing together the Centre for Global Health Research and Oxford Population Health under one roof.

Appointed by Morgan Sindall Construction, in partnership with Associated Architects, we manufactured and installed the building identity signage, wayfinding and external branding, held in a single restrained monochrome palette that lets the architecture lead.

Outside, built-up aluminium letters carry the building name across its GRC rainscreen façade, each fixing set out precisely so the whole name reads true across the cladding. Inside, a coordinated family of signs uses our modular Jigsaw™ directories and directional signs alongside frosted Puzzle™ door signs, so room names and listings can be updated by hand as the research community grows and changes.

Signage designed to be as quiet, considered and adaptable as the building itself.

xsign were appointed to design, manufacture and install the signage scheme at the City of Wolverhampton College, Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre – a new state of the art facility for automotive teaching and learning.

The external signage featured includes 3mm laser cut aluminium letters on metal locators with a vinyl wrap to the faces. We have also manufactured and installed a 3mm router cut aluminium wet-sprayed panel with full colour adhesive vinyl applied and a protective lacquer, fixed to the metal cladding at the entrance to the building.

Internally, we have supplied a broad range of wayfinding and iconography using 3mm frosted lucite with a high polish edge. Meeting rooms feature out patented Puzzle sign system so that room designations can easily be changed. We have also supplied our patented Jigsaw modular directory signage system throughout.
