ASPECT’s response was a comprehensive signage system that would withstand and celebrate Mosman’s unique coastal location. A hardy palette of timber, anodized metal framing and aluminium substrate was chosen both for its ability to whether challenging conditions and for its resonance with the area’s human and environmental history.
A series of unique patterns were developed for each sign location typology: urban, park and coastal. These patterns were carved into the timber framing, printed onto sign fronts, and perforated into large aluminium panels which create tactile links to periods in local architectural and maritime history.
