Tempo Nine Mile Station
Mountain murals and a trail-map wall for an apartment community's lobby and bike room.
About the Job
What they needed
Graphics that give a new apartment community in Aurora a sense of place: a lobby that welcomes residents, and a bike room people actually want to use.
What we did
We designed the trail map in the bike room, working through several rounds with the building's GC and developer, and printed and installed the lobby mural, the bike-room mountain mural and the trail-map wall. We also did large exterior graphics for the building.
What we used
The trail map and murals are 3M LX480mC with matte laminate. The lobby logo is 1/2-inch gloss black acrylic on 1/2-inch standoffs.
The hard part
The trail map went onto a raw, unpainted concrete wall. LX480mC is made for textured surfaces, but it still has to be heated and rolled into every pore of the concrete so it stays down. In the lobby, the wall was wrapped first, then the acrylic logo was pin-mounted on standoffs over the mural so the two line up as one piece.
The result
A lobby and bike room that feel built for the people who live there, with a map residents can use to plan their rides.
