Case Study
Truth for Life Wayfinding and Signage System
Richards designed a wayfinding and signage system for the multifaceted Truth for Life facility, including fencing, administration, and recording/video studios for Parkside Church's pastor in Cleveland. The project was notable for its proximity to the church and distinctive design.
The Challenges
The project presented several distinct challenges:
- Integrating signage design with the existing architectural aesthetic, particularly the brass and bronze elements within the facility.
- Developing a signage system that complemented the stone construction of the building and its surroundings.
- Creating a cohesive exterior and interior signage system for a new construction, ensuring consistency in design and aesthetics.
