Playful colour and material selections allow patterns and lines to fold and warp throughout the interior of the building.
CKDS Architecture were asked to provide a unique design solution to upgrade the internal finishes of the CT Building at the University of Newcastle. The existing interior was dark and lifeless with exposed concrete block and brickwork. Way finding through the building for staff, students and visitors was also a challenge due to the long and repetitive corridors. The solution is a colourful uplifting series of graphics, developed in collaboration with Graphic Designers Nodding Dog, that creates an unexpected, vibrant and fun environment whilst improving way finding between levels.
