Union Street Garage

The way finding system for the Union Street Garage is based on an angle of changing color and degrees. Each garage floor is striped with an angle of a specific degree and color, creating a powerful parking mnemonic. The deeper a driver travels within the garage the shallower the angle becomes, indicating their proximity to the foundation level.

The project involved developing a wayfinding system for the entire Union St. building. As the primary identity device beyond the garage, the angle concept informed digital directories, elevator interiors, and all building signage.
