All stencilled wayfinding elements, Warehouse pictorial language.
In Blackwattle apartments, environmental graphics goes beyond the wayfinding. By presenting a holistic approach throughout the built environment, Graphic elements are inspired by the Ultimo’s industrial and warehouse typology of Ultimo.
At any given opportunity, Environmental graphics transform the spaces into a medium to engage the community with the historical significance and identity of the site. Stairways in the communal areas, in particular, became a medium to depict the historical timeline of the Blackwattle site.
