We went about this by producing a simple and informative A4 squared brochure with a matt laminate cover highlighting the benefits of the area and the key details needed to gain interest in the property.

Since we took the keys to the premises, we’ve spent an exhausting week refurbishing and redecorating the shop. From a former cafe space, we have stripped and cleaned the exhisting interior, replastered the walls, repaired the ceiling, laid a new floor and redecorated the entire space. We have also soundproofed the space to help house the CNC machine within the existing kitchen space.

On October 23rd we held an opening event for people from the local area, letting them have a sneak preview of the shop space and what we will be making with them in the coming months.

We are now officially open.

The new TSP identity is made up of three dissected circles with a third of each featuring an accent complimentary shade of the corporate colour palette. A versatile set of devices were used to illustrate different company products and services, and branded elements applied across stationery, brochures, event materials, promo items, a new website with integrated services, and property marketing literature.

Our concept centred around the reintegration of the new commercial centre, back into the existing masterplan and relied heavily upon a graphic device of the local river. The river was styled to look essentially like a ribbon, and was used to thread all content together through the document.

A red foil ribbon river was applied to the case bound cloth covered outer covers with the device used on every page, linking sections and concepts together.

We wanted to work with the local neighbouring public as well as local artists to create on-project art pieces and interactions to get people talking about both the project and the activities themselves.

Working with local artist Jo Peel, and engagement designer Tom Tobia, we spent an afternoon with local residents listening to their stories and memories of the local area. This was then turned into a new piece of public artwork painted directly onto the hospital building facade on Goldsmiths’ Row, documenting some of those stories on site.

We unveiled the artwork at a public consultation event in October 2012, where we also set up a number of interactions to attract passers by, including a cycling Tour de France refreshment stand, and a robot drawing machine. The machine was ‘operated’ by artist Amy Pennington, providing amazing quick portrait interactions to visitors, talking about what we were doing and generally getting people more involved with the development as a whole.
