Park Garage Signage

Marco Serra, Novartis Campus Basel

Endowing a lowly park garage with such an abundance of space, light and luscious materiality inspired us to allow the use of huge carmine-colored letters for orientation in the underground. It’s a credit to Marco Serra that what elsewhere would seem bombastic, never does.

Signage guiding people back downstairs to their cars matches the garage signage below. Outside the entrance to the garage, this transparent sign has an electronic device planted inside it which lights red or green to indicate parking availability in the garage.
