Large-scale integrated community wayfinding system
【Design Development& Manufacturing Case Study】
Project Name
Huafa Another City
Location Zhuhai, Guangdong, China
Developer
Huafa Group
Project Overview
Huafa Another City is a large-scale integrated community that combines
residential housing, villas, public facilities, and waterfront landscapes.
To meet the daily traffic needs under high-density living and complex spatial structures,
the project has planned a systematic community signage and wayfinding system.
The signage system for this project is produced and manufactured by Buoyant Signage,
covering various application scenarios such as community entrances,
road directions, building numbers, parking, and accessibility signs.
Materials and Design Strategies
For waterfront residential communities with high greenery rates,
like Huafa Another City, the signage system must consider weather resistance,
corrosion resistance, and long-term maintenance costs during the design phase.
Based on extensive experience with long-term outdoor projects,
Buoyant Signage uses the following approach in this project:
- Powder-coated metal structures to enhance weather and corrosion resistance - Metal panels with three-dimensional characters to ensure long-term stability and clarity - Modular production methods to ensure consistency across different types of signage
This combined solution has already proven its long-term stability
in multiple waterfront and high-humidity environment projects.
Unified Design Language and Information Hierarchy
For large residential communities, scattered and uncoordinated signage
often leads to maintenance confusion and decreased recognition efficiency over time.
Through systematic planning, a community can achieve:
- Clear information hierarchy
- Consistent signage style
- Longer usage life
- Controllable overall maintenance costs
The case of Huafa Another City Waterfront Community shows that
systematic signage planning is one of the important infrastructures
for the long-term operation of large residential projects.
Design and Development and Factory Manufacturing
In large residential community projects, signage systems usually need to be
implemented as an integrated system rather than as individual products.
In the Huafa Another City Waterfront Community project,
Buoyant Signage was responsible for the design, production,
and manufacturing of the entire signage system, ensuring a high degree of consistency in structure,
craftsmanship, and visual language across different types of signs.
This systematic manufacturing approach has been widely applied in residential communities,
commercial complexes, and public space projects.
Project Results
The Huafa Another City Waterfront Community signage system,
while meeting functional requirements, achieves long-term stability
and harmony with the overall environment through a unified design language
and the selection of weather-resistant materials.
Buoyant Signage carried out the entire manufacturing process for this project,
