Canvas in Costa Mesa Development
Canvas in Costa Mesa was developed to create a large art canvas within an office park. Inspired by gallery name cards, we designed outdoor wayfinding directional signs with "impossible" geometry, making them appear as sculptures. The landscape architect's careful design of exterior spaces influenced our signage, resulting in a thin, open profile that virtually disappears when viewed from the side. Gallery-style artist labels complemented the art color palette and were used as standalone signs and on directories. Large building address numerals were placed on existing pillars, and the main campus map was designed as an art location map.
