Working with Uniting, architects, landscape and project teams, Extrablack have been commissioned to provide a unique site-specific signage and wayfinding solution, masterplanning, sign design, and help curate the interpretive and heritage elements for the site rich in historial stories and relevance to the area and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Each signage system is developed specifically for its location, drawing on the architectural language, landscape and community character to create a distinct sense of place. Informed by research into user experience, designs consider the varying needs of residents, from independent living to dementia care, ensuring clarity, accessibility and comfort for all users.
