Chaney & Norman Architects is a Wānaka based practice with sustainability at its heart. We had worked with Chris previously for his solo practice, and when he teamed up with Beth Chaney-Walker to form a new partnership, Chris called on us once again to brand the new enterprise.

The brandmark is built from a single repeated elemental form, rendered in various textures, alluding to the conceptual part of the architectural process, experimenting with forms, volumes and their relationships.

The texture system is carried across to signage and interior layout of the studio, and is an open ended and adaptable system that encourages play and rethinking.
