A shared building fails at the door if the names are taped up, mismatched or missing. A directory is wayfinding, not decoration: it has to be updated when a tenant changes without looking like a mess.
The brief
House of Vixen needed stacked tenant signs that would sit as one family: same materials, same type, enough contrast to read from the path. Individual businesses still needed their own mark.
How we approached it
We designed a system, not a one-off plaque. Each panel belongs to the set. Names, marks and spacing were proofed together so a florist and a clinic could share a wall without fighting. Materials were specified for exterior life.
Install was sequenced so the stack sits true. If a tenant is added later, a new panel can follow the same spec instead of a paper print in a clip frame.
At the door
Visitors now find the right name before they try the wrong buzzer. The same system can run inside: reception marks, stair signs, and a fascia for the building name, so the brand does not fall apart between the path and the desk.
If you manage a multi-tenant site, send a photo of the wall and a list of names. We will spec a directory that can grow.
