Auckland Transport, Franklin Local Board, Reset Urban Design
As part of the major streetscape development in the Franklin town of Waiuku, a series of information posts was proposed by the Reset Urban Design team. DallowBoss was commissioned to create the interpretative and navigational graphics.
The integration of these elements within the landscaping works is a crucial aspect of the overall project. The network of pedestrian-scaled elements was established throughout the town centre, creating more legible connections with the original wharf area, River Lane developments and the main town centre locations. They convey significant elements of the colourful history of the town and highlight heritage buildings, events and characters to give extra flavour and context to the new streetscape.
