Architecture Studio, 2024

ARC

A single line weight for a practice that works in concrete and light.

ARC designs houses on difficult sites. We drew its wordmark from a single continuous stroke, the same weight as a line on a plan, and paired it with a quiet grotesque. The system runs from blind embossed stationery to a monograph and a cast concrete sign at the studio door.

What we made

  • Monoline wordmark
  • Stationery and blind embossing
  • Monograph and editorial layout
  • Architectural signage
  • Website and tablet presentation

How we built it

  1. 01

    The wordmark drawn on the practice’s own drafting grid, then refined by eye.

  2. 02

    Colour limited to concrete, charcoal and paper, so the photography carries the warmth.

  3. 03

    Signage cast in the same concrete the practice specifies for its houses.
