Wayfinding & Information Systems
Challenge
The historic Darwin Martin House had fallen into significant disrepair and had been left vacant for many years. A $52m renovation project was funded by public and private donations to restore this acknowledged prairie style Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece and surrounding gardens to their former glory.
Strategy
It was very important to the IDS team to understand the aesthetic and quality standards required by designers Cloud Gehshan and lead landscape architects, Bayer Landscape Architects from the very start. A series of detailed project meetings and consultations were held to ensure that the finished project would reflect both a high level craftsmanship and attention to detail required by such a prestigious commission.
Approach
The IDS Project Management team quickly went into action, conducting a detailed site survey, producing material graphics and finish samples and monitored the project throughout production and finally supervised the installation process providing detailed guidance to our installation team to ensure the finished project met the clients and designers specification.
