Ortwein Sign’s Nashville Sign Division was recently awarded a contract to produce signage for one of Nashville, TN newest Class A Office Space commercial development, The Gulch Crossing. The fantastic design work of Amy McNeil and her staff at 4th Leaf Design Studios in Nashville, TN. Some of the signage that was quite unique is being covered in this release of Ortwein Sign’s Sign Blog.
Gulch Crossing Letters – Corten Steel
The entry to the development was created of Corten Steel. The Gulch Crossing letters were installed in this material prior to installation with the rest of the material that makes up the entry wall. Corten steel is a product that has a coating that is supposed to age over time. If you’ll go to the Gulch Crossing link, https://www.gulchcrossing.com, you’ll see the entry and how the different sheets of material age, differently. Its a very unique finish, material and sign installation technique. The craftsmen at Ortwein Sign thrive on these unique custom applications. It was a challenge for the Ortwein Sign fabrication crew to make this look as nice as it turned out. “Anyone can do the standard sign construction stuff, it takes exceptional talent to create custom pieces of art” said John Shelton, Ortwein Sign fabricator.
Parking Garage Entry Sign
The development’s parking garage sign package contains a unique parking garage entry sign. It is lit on all 5 exposed sides, with a LED digital parking space availability display. This frosted translucent block is internally illuminated and looks like an “ice cube” said Jim Teal, Ortwein Sign’s VP of Operations. “Its a real attention getter!”
Weight Limit Sign
While The Gulch Crossing could have chosen to install a typical panel on a wall, which could have met requirements, people entering the parking garage are now notified of a weight limit restriction for vehicles in the parking garage by a very noticeable and unique triangluar shaped sign. The triangular sign with this information is an extension of the high end design of the facilities and by virtue of its more noticeable appearance, produces a more safe environment.
Ortwein Sign Manufacturing Company would like to congratulate 4th Leaf Design, JE Dunn, and The Gulch Crossing on a fantastic development in downtown Nashville, TN.
