Residential developments

In a multi-block development a visitor is looking for a specific entrance, not a building. Signage starts at the edge of the site and ends at the apartment door.

Residential signage is used in two bursts: intensively in the first months after handover, while residents and visitors learn the layout, and occasionally thereafter — when someone arrives looking for a particular entrance for the first time. The first period exposes every flaw in the system, because that is when everyone asks.

Work starts at the site boundary: the development marker, the arrangement of blocks and a numbering rule that has to match the addresses in the documentation. Then come entrances, the car park with level and bay marking, communal facilities and finally apartment numbers. Material selection also depends on whether a sign stands outdoors all year or in a sheltered lobby.

Typical scope

  • Development and block markers at the approach and within the site
  • Entrance marking and numbering consistent with registered addresses
  • Car park: levels, entry and exit, bays and traffic direction
  • Lobbies, lift markings and floor signs
  • Apartment numbers and communal room signage
  • Plant room and waste area markings
  • Notice boards for residents
  • Evacuation plans for residential floors and car parks
