Luxury Architectural Signage for the York Development
Located directly opposite York Railway Station, the Hudson Quarter is a landmark £35 million mixed-use scheme combining contemporary architecture with historical surroundings. Widd Signs was chosen to engineer, manufacture, and install a luxury architectural display package for this flagship York development.
To complement the high-end architectural finish across the site, Widd Signs was commissioned to design, manufacture, and install a comprehensive signage package comprising over 300 custom interior and exterior elements.
Turnkey Signage for Luxury Residential and Commercial Spaces
Designing commercial branding for high-profile urban schemes requires balancing modern design aesthetics with strict planning compliance. For this luxury York development, our teams produced bespoke exterior entrance totems, high-level metal lettering, and illuminated fascias crafted to reflect the premium identity of the residential and commercial spaces.
Navigating a multi-building mixed-use scheme requires a cohesive blend of high-visibility exterior identification, elegant interior wayfinding, and durable room markings.
Working alongside main joinery contractors Wroot Contracts and developer Caddick Construction, our teams delivered a complete end-to-end turnkey solution:
High-Spec Exterior Wayfinding: Weather-resistant entrance branding and directional signage designed to integrate smoothly with the building’s modern facade and landscaping.
Internal Directional Systems: Clean, intuitive wayfinding guiding residents, office workers, and visitors effortlessly across all four buildings.
Luxury Room & Floor Identification: Precision-crafted apartment numbering, floor markers, and office door signage engineered to reflect the premium interior aesthetic.
Precision Manufacturing & On-Site Installation
With a team of 70 signage experts operating across our manufacturing hubs in Leeds and St Helens, Widd Signs handled every stage of the Hudson Quarter project in-house. From initial CAD drawings and material selection through to on-site fitting, our craftsmen ensured that every one of the 300-plus signs met exacting quality standards.
“We are proud to have played our part in putting the finishing touches on such a hugely impressive scheme in the heart of York. As befits such a prestigious development, the signage was crafted to an exceptionally high specification, with our team managing the entire process from initial design straight through to installation.”
