Island – Signage

It’s great to see the final pieces of our branding and wayfinding work for Island, Manchester, come to life.

Developed by HBD, with architecture by Cartwright Pickard and interiors by EPR Architects, Island is a 100,000 sq ft net zero carbon workplace defined by material honesty and attention to detail.

A restrained material palette echoes the architecture and continues through the interior, where every element has been refined and scaled to complement the tactile finishes. The result is a confident, enduring system that enhances legibility and reflects Island’s crafted, human-centred identity.

A big thank you to the team at HBD for bringing us in to work on another project.

Thanks also to Mark Newton for the amazing photography.
