White Design Studio and MurphyCatton have combined again to put a new face on the USDF’s Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame exhibit for the 2010 World Equestrian Games or WEG. USDF is located in Lexington, Kentucky and is part of the Kentucky Horse Park. Our design solution centers around (2) full-sized two-dimensional horse-and-rider sculptures. These colorful icons symbolize the unison of horse and rider in the sport of dressage. A series of graphic panels line the perimeter wall, each highlighting a part of the dressage story. A 24′ time line panel knits together all things dressage. Additional information is delivered via two interactive video displays. This project is a great example of our ability to take a great story and make it engaging, educational and entertaining.

These 5 floors of environmental branding for local company combined equity from their Human Resources team and their Product Supply Operations team. We worked with architectural partners BHDP to design a solution that extended the goals of their interior design into the branding. The challenge was to knit together all of these assets in a meaningful way throughout the space so that branding addressed localized groups within the floors and served as a tacit wayfinding for the employees. We tried to make the atrium bright and inviting, make content easily updatable and use color and imagery to reinforce the functions of spaces. We also designed a system of updatable digital content that matched the design and objectives of the static pieces. Adex and Murphy Catton were manufacturing partners for this project.

Battelle is the world’s largest, nonprofit, research and development organization. Their selling line is “The Business of Innovation.” Our overarching goal was to brand the lobby and cafeteria of their global headquarters in a way that embodied innovation.

The design challenge was to show Battelle as a global leader in science and provide a way for the public to experience their value. We worked with BHDP Architecture to reinforce their changes to the space, so our solutions would extend their goals. We also teamed up with a Obscura Digital and Murphy Catton to ensure tight control over the end product.

Our intent, throughout the lobby, was to monumentalize science in an abstract way. The molecule sculpture is where this goal is epitomized. A 3000 pound steel sculpture of a molecule reveals itself to visitors in the lobby. As they make their way through a glass wall the space peels away and reveals the entire sculpture, which can be touched and occupied.

The lobby also features an interactive video installation that has 4 modes. A sleep mode plays a subtle animation 5’ tall by 30’ wide. The follow mode tracks users with a branded animation which entices people closer. The user mode is a content-rich playful way for multiple users to find out more about the scope of Battelle and its contributions. The presentation mode shows a series of monumental video presentations, triggered remotely. The seamless integration of these, together with the depth of information accessible, makes this installation unlike any other.

Celebrating the individuality of a particular brand or brand group within P&G requires interpreting the corporate equity in the context of brand. Here, we designed large fabric inspired screens to announce the brand group at each elevator lobby. Large fabric image murals anchor huddle spaces and create nodes throughout the floor. Corporate equity is expressed through the colors, patterns and photographic images selected. Interior by our friends at BHDP Architecture.
