The display is on show on the ground floor of One Bartholomew, a new Grade A office building in Barts Square, London; and features a series of neon strips which together form the name of the building in barcode.

The brief to deliver a CAT A signage project was commissioned by architect Sheppard Robson on behalf of contractor, Mace Group.

The size and weight of the sign meant the project proved to be challenging. Greg Bailey, senior project manager at Signbox explains: “Creating a solution that would articulate the architect’s vision was not without its difficulties.

“The complex cabling and environmental factors had initially seemed insurmountable but, after much collaboration and feasibility research, our team devised a solution that would enable us to interpret and execute the scheme to achieve the desired impact.”

In order to avoid any visible LED cabling, the installation is suspended in front of a mechanically fixed stone wall cladding system and recessed lighting troughs were added.

Due to the size of the design, the sign was manufactured in five, three metre aluminium sections in order to be transported to the building for assembly on site.

Bailey continues: “The project was not without its physical challenges either – the installation was huge, weighing in at almost a metric tonne and measuring 15,000 x 3,000mm overall.

“Maintaining the physical integrity of the unit along with the elaborate lighting and cable systems that would support it, meant we had to come up with a highly imaginative approach to both the manufacture and delivery of this project.”
