Auckland Language School

For EF Auckland, a language school on the city’s waterfront, the environmental graphics draw from the industrial character of the marina — referencing shipping containers, cranes, and the layered forms of the working port. The visual system balances these urban motifs with elements of local ecology, introducing colour and pattern inspired by native plants, birds, and the surrounding water. Developed in close collaboration with EF’s interior architecture team, the result establishes a vibrant, site-specific identity that connects the school to its coastal setting and its city.
