Client: Almacantar/Conrad and Partners
Location: Centre Point Tower, London, UK
Project Overview:
The iconic Centre Point Tower needed an energy-efficient upgrade for its skyline sign. We collaborated with Almacantar and Conrad and Partners to replace the old neon lights with sustainable LED technology, enhancing the sign’s visibility and sustainability.
Key Features
- Visibility: The sign features 2-meter-high letters, boosting the tower’s presence against London’s skyline.
- Sustainability: Replacing neon with LEDs cuts energy costs and maintenance.
- Durability: Crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminum, the sign withstands harsh weather, verified by rigorous testing.
Scope of Work:
- Design & Prototyping: Initial designs and prototypes aligned with the architectural and branding goals.
- Manufacture & Installation: High-grade aluminum letters were engineered to endure London’s weather, with a focus on minimal disruption during installation.
- Innovative Lighting: Advanced LED technology ensures low running costs.
- Logistics & Safety: Detailed planning and strict safety protocols ensured smooth execution.
Challenges & Solutions:
Handling the sign’s exposure to strong winds and variable weather involved meticulous material testing and adaptive scheduling to maintain safety and meet timelines.
Outcome:
The new skyline sign at Centre Point Tower stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability, providing a lasting visual impact and aligning with modern environmental standards.
Project Highlights:
- Enhanced Visibility: Strong visual identity from the skyline.
- Energy Efficiency: LEDs significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs.
- Durability: Materials and construction designed to withstand environmental challenges.
This project exemplifies our dedication to innovative, sustainable, and impactful signage solutions.
