(Case study)

The brief

The practice had grown from two to fourteen people and needed an identity that could hold a growing portfolio without becoming corporate.

The approach

A single horizontal rule — taken from the datum line on their section drawings — anchors every application. The cards are letterpressed on black stock with silver ink.

The outcome

The new identity and website launched alongside the practice’s first public commission, a seaside library in Wicklow.
