Shangri-La
Studio X were appointed to create a complete new signage and wayfinding system for the Island Shangri-La in Admiralty, Hong Kong. The hotel was originally built in 1981 and we were brought on board as part of a major renovation and facelift.
Our scope involved a full-service execution from concept design, which we designed to be complimentary to the architectural vision of the project, working alongside the interior design team, through to detailed design including full coordination, site supervision, and mock-up scheme design.
The Island hotel signage standards will then go on to form future standards for the group's network of hotels.

Project Stages:
- Concept Design
- Schematic Design
- Detail Design
- Tender Documentation
- On-Site Management
We wanted the signage and wayfinding to form part of the interior finishes as opposed to being separately applied on top, this would allow the guests to navigate the room with ease, being discreetly guided at each key element of the room, from wireless charging, to hairdryer locations to the minibar. To this end, we collaborated heavily with the interior designer to engrave, stitch and press key iconography directly into the interior finishes.
Our main objective is to improve the performance of our clients businesses by creating exciting, emotive spaces that have high utility and this project epitomises this approach.
We provide a comprehensive construction supervision service and regularly attend site to monitor progress.
Where required, we provide comprehensive drawing and documentation packages in order to clearly communicate the design to the contractor.
