SEASPAN SHIPYARDS WAYFINDING
CLIENT: Seaspan Shipyards
LOCATION: North Vancouver, BC
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: Hapa Collaborative
SCOPE: Wayfinding strategy, signage design
This iconic marine company was working on multiple levels to redevelop their architecture and landscape of their primary marine planning and ship-building facility. We designed a series of large format, illuminated wayfinding signs for this long, thin campus on the north shore of Burrard Inlet in North Vancouver. Taking clues from the ships and architecture on site, the system is bold, clear and robust in the marine environment.
Our work included working with the landscape architecture firm (Hapa Collaborative) and the client group to develop means of delineating one type of parking area from another, creating clear groundplane markings, and proposing signage solutions which would tie together a number of basic industrial buildings, which were not yet upgraded. The system was designed and implemented on budget based on cost estimates we provided to the client in the Design Development stage.
