Client: Rosewood
Architecture: Olson Kundig
Interior Design: K Studio
Landscape Architecture: Grant Associates

OBJECTIVE
Effective wayfinding signage will help build a seamless user
experience for the guest as they navigate the resort.
While at the same time, contributing to the unique sense of place
complementing the architectural narrative and design.

WAYFINDING STRATEGY
The wayfinding strategy for Rosewood Maldives will form the basis of
the signage design. This strategy includes a functional analysis of the
resort and connected landscapes and amenity buildings to identify
navigational requirements.
Signage elements, where shown, are indicative of sign location, size
and relative scale. The diagrams do not represent design proposals.
Concept design for key wayfinding and signage elements will follow
this strategy stage of work.

MALDIVES FEATURES
The Maldives, being on the equator is

quintessentially tropical supporting a multitude
of plant, bird and aquatic species. The chain
of islands is well known for its rich aquatic
species and coral making it a popular diving
destination.
Ocean life is also famous for bio-luminescene
which creates a magical experience at night
along with stargazing.
Culturally the islands were initially influenced
by India and Sri Lanka and later through South
East Asia and Arabia. This mix of cultures has
influenced cuisine, traditional crafts and dance
and the type of coastal/tropical architecture.

WAYFINDING STRATEGY
The island will feature many tropical plant

species, unique ecologies and environmental
support systems that contribute to a layered
and dynamic landscape design strategy.
Interpretive signage can help bring those
features to life and create an educational and
environmental guest experience.
41
WAYFINDING STRATEGY
INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE
There are many public facilities on the island that

incorporate dynamic ecological systems and bio-diverse
planting systems. All these features contribute to the
rich ecological environment and food & energy supply
for the whole island.
Learning about these systems can be part of the
educational experience for all guests, children’s tours in
particular.
Interpretive signage in these areas can illustrate all
the systems on the island with info graphics and also
identity many of the authentic plant species.
Note: Currently interpretive signage in not in our scope,

but we recommend adding.

WAYFINDING STRATEGY
Connected to the idea of nature as sculptor,

is the effect that one object has on another.
Through the layering of time, the forces of weight and
pressure – water will leave an imprint on stone just as a shell
or a coral will become encapsulated within minerals.
This co-relationship creates a depression or cavity of
one object into the other - an eternal marking of time.
