Another recap of my direction with @mechanism.works and @workoutservices for TERRA - a 45 unit / 18 story real estate project in HK. Apart from developing a broader conceptual framework and taking over the creative direction, the project allowed us to develop bespoke items with brands such as @akindofguise and @byborre , as well as a custom-made brushed steel display case built in Berlin. Another special item is the keycards we developed, using metal cards with cut outs specifically designed for RFID chips to ensure a strong enough signal despite a general incompatibility with metal alloys.

2 years in the making: As a kick-off to our Hong Kong/Berlin-based research and creative studio @mechanism.works we were commissioned to develop a unique branding approach for real estate project TERRA in Hong Kong. Teaming up with longtime partners in crime @workoutservices , we set out to include new elements - from bespoke/custom items with @byborre and @akindofguise all the way to developing a POS onboarding journey for future tenants. The 18 story/45 unit development located in Hong Kong's Ho Man Tin district again stands out from today's spreadsheet architecture through its design approach. Based on the idea of dichotomy of light and dark, future and past, technology and craftsmanship the branding approach required an in- depth understanding of the building's architectural features, materials and its context. Together, we developed a holistic branding approach featuring a visual identity, advertising assets, and a Move-in-Kit consisting of custom designed items sourced from leading suppliers worldwide. Slide 1 Logo and visual identity featuring ABC Diatype by @abcdinamo Slide 2 Custom blanket produced in Italy, developed together with leading Dutch manufacturer @byborre Slide 3 A curved brushed steel display counter produced together with @farmer_int for each tenant's onboarding ceremony Slide 4 Bilingual sales brochure (EN/) printed by @druckhaussportflieger Slide 5 Brushed aluminum keycards with brochure and blanket Slide 6 Weekender bag designed together with @akindofguise Slide 7 Bilingual website Slide 8 Building signage.
