This case study explores the successful partnership between Sunrise Signs and Kelly Contine Interior Design in the execution of a multifamily student housing project in Philadelphia, known as The Avery. The collaboration focused on creating unique architectural signage that enhances the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the property.

The scope of work included custom dimensional letters for the entrance lobby, a striking lighted cabinet sign for the coworking space, and creatively designed elevator floor numbers. This document outlines the project details, challenges faced, and the innovative solutions implemented to bring the vision to life.

Project Overview

Sunrise Signs was approached by Kelly Contine Interior Design to provide architectural signage for The Avery, a multifamily student housing project in Philadelphia. The goal was to create signage that not only served a practical purpose but also contributed to the overall design and branding of the property.

Scope of Work

The project encompassed three main components:

1. Custom Fabricated Dimensional Letters: The entrance lobby of The Avery features custom dimensional letters that prominently display the property's name. These letters were designed to be visually striking and welcoming, setting the tone for residents and visitors alike.

2. Lighted Cabinet Sign for Costudying Space: A standout feature of the project is the custom lighted cabinet sign that reads "HUSTLE." This sign was designed to inspire and energize residents using the costudying space, while also serving as a focal point within the area.

3. Custom Fabricated Dimensional Elevator Floor Numbers: To enhance the user experience, Sunrise Signs created custom dimensional elevator floor numbers for all twelve floors of The Avery. Each set of numbers was uniquely painted in different return colors, adding a playful and vibrant touch to the building's interior.

Challenges and Solutions

Throughout the project, several challenges arose that required innovative solutions:

• Material Selection: Choosing materials that were durable yet aesthetically pleasing was crucial. Sunrise Signs collaborated closely with Kelly Contine Interior Design to select materials that aligned with the overall design vision while ensuring longevity.

• Lighting Integration: The lighted cabinet sign posed challenges in terms of electrical integration and ensuring even illumination. The team worked diligently to design a lighting solution that enhanced the sign's visibility without compromising its design integrity.

• Color Coordination: Custom painting the elevator floor numbers required precise color matching to ensure consistency across all floors. Sunrise Signs implemented a rigorous quality control process to maintain color accuracy and vibrancy.

Results

The collaboration between Sunrise Signs and Kelly Contine Interior Design resulted in a cohesive and visually appealing signage solution for The Avery. The custom dimensional letters, lighted cabinet sign, and uniquely painted elevator floor numbers not only enhanced the property's aesthetic but also contributed to a positive experience for residents and visitors.

The successful execution of this project showcases the importance of collaboration between design and signage professionals in bringing architectural visions to life. The Avery stands as a testament to the power of innovative signage in multifamily housing projects.
