Lu One: A Harmonious Blend of Design and Functionality

Zesion Design's Award-Winning Signage System for Luxurious Villa Residence

The inspiration for the design was drawn from the ancient poem "A Pot of Wine Between Flowers," with "Lu" symbolizing Luzhou, another name for Hefei, Anhui. The design, devoid of decorative details, exudes a sense of understated luxury through the interplay of shape, material texture, and subtle lighting.

The signage system is unique in its approach to blending into the villa's environment, known as "a villa in the forest." The Wayfinding Signage combines map and pointing functions, reducing the number of landing signs. The overall color and material are unified, integrating seamlessly into the architectural landscape. The font design of the building number and the door number uses the design style of the "Lu One" logo, enhancing the overall consistency.

The realization of the design involved the use of translucent brown ECO resin plates and metal plates. During the day, the transparent plate reflects the surrounding scenery, achieving an effect of invisibility. At night, the semi-transparent resin plate maps LED lights, making the signboard eye-catching. The sign information is made of metal, ensuring clear visibility.

The design project, commissioned in Shanghai in July 2019, was completed and installed in Hefei in October 2019. The design process involved overcoming several challenges, including the production of glass brick for the main entrance and the selection of translucent environmentally friendly resin. The result is a signage system that not only serves its functional purpose but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the villa residence.

The Lu One signage system is a testament to Zesion Design's commitment to creating designs that are not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. It serves as a shining example of how design and functionality can harmoniously coexist, enhancing the overall experience of the residents and visitors alike. The design's recognition with the Silver A' Design Award further underscores its excellence and innovation in the field of design.
