Blank Studio Designs Wayfinding for FORMAT Office in Gdańsk

The FORMAT office building in Gdańsk, Poland, designed by Blank Studio, is a five-story edifice crafted by APA Wojciechowski Architekci, characterized by its elongated clinker brick exterior. The wayfinding system is seamlessly integrated into essential materials, featuring three-dimensional black letters against raw concrete walls. Accents of warm ochre and brushed brass enhance the dark charcoal doors. The bilingual signage employs both Polish and English in a balanced typographic arrangement. Key indicators such as Klatka schodowa and Winda utilize geometric letterforms and pictograms, while restroom doors are outlined in ochre for figures. The project also includes large bronze floor numerals, cantilevered brass signs, and ochre metal plaques, highlighting the enduring nature of environmental spatial design. The complete project can be viewed on Behance.
