The British Council is a British organisation specialising in international educational and cultural opportunities. It is registered as a charity both in England and Wales and Scotland.
The entrance to their building is located on the back wall of a fairly deep and dark under croft which results in visitors not being able to easily find the entrance.
Therefore, to increase their visibility W&Co were asked to design, manufacture and install some large built-up and flat cut stainless steel logos fixed at high level next to the entrance doors accompanied by a series of bespoke external LED illuminated poster cases and fret cut illuminated signage wrapping around several of the under croft’s concrete columns.
The large bespoke poster display cases were clad back to back complete with concealed LED accent lighting to the rear edges to give a floating effect. The poster cases have been built with longevity in mind with toughened glass front panels and hinged doors and a hidden locking mechanism.
The British Council now have the freedom to change the posters themselves for upcoming events and marketing throughout the year and have been extremely pleased with the final result.
