DFS Mission Hills
We created a bespoke dual-language signage and wayfinding system for the DFS-operated zones within the Mission Hills resort on Hainan.
Spread out over 3 levels with each level offering a different retail offering and targeted demographic the signage system was designed to compliment the interior design whilst ensuring maximum clarity and functionality as a whole.
Our scope included the design of sign typologies, typography, iconography & product design.

Project Stages:
- Concept Design

- Detail Design
- Tender Documentation
The product design of the signage was sympathetic to the interior design scheme, while the signage needed to be highly visible and aid navigation we carefully selected materials and forms that would blend into the wider environment. The result is a wayfinding system that looks integrated as opposed to applied at a later date.
The wayfinding system was also designed to be sympathetic and share some commonality in font and iconography scale to that of the wider resort in order to guide customers smoothly from zone to zone.
Where required, we provide comprehensive drawing and documentation packages in order to clearly communicate the design to the contractor.
