NUO Beijing The wayfinding for NUO playfully reveals the hidden 'hand' of the scholar.

Like Manuscript pages peeling from a wall, these large sheets have poetry inscribed in the reverse of the metal which is aged and rusted to hint at the past, whilst the front face is modern, new and contemporary.

The simplicity and the unique form of a noren makes it an interesting inspiration and concept for a signage system.

ATLANTIS SANYA HAINAN SELLING ATLANTIS Atlantis is a fabled sunken City.

Atlantis is also a Luxury 5-Star resort catering for families and pleasure seekers.

For the new proposed Atlantis in Sanya, Hainan we conceived of an overall marketing concept called RAISING ATLANTIS to aid in selling parts of the property to potential investors.

The brochure and marketing collateral develop and explore the idea of 'movement' and as ATLANTIS literally rises from the ocean in one gigantic splash, the story progresses through the poetry, prose and images, to create a ripple of great excitement (public areas) to smaller tremors of calm and tranquility (guest rooms and private spaces).

The brochure was packaged in a custom made box lined with an alluring image of the ocean and held in place on a sprung platform so that it literally floated up as the lid was opened as though itself arising from the depths of the ocean.

RAISING

ATLANTIS S A N YA | HAINAN

Where myth becomes reality

ATLANTIS SANYA HAINAN The graphic devices for the raising ATLANTIS campaign, were inspired by their architecture, and the idea of a 'wondrous splash', as the fabled city arose and the crowned and crested waves beat against the shore.
