Saongroup

A spatial identity system for Saongroup’s Dublin headquarters, where every space is somewhere.

Saongroup

Saongroup is the world’s leading online recruiter, operating across 16 countries in Europe, Africa and America. As Saongroup moved into Waterways House on Grand Canal Quay, the space needed to speak to employees and visitors.

The idea

Every space is somewhere.

The creative process
City illustrations

Each meeting room takes the name of a city where Saongroup operates. Each has a detailed line illustration of that city’s landmarks, drawn as my own interpretation.

Geometric patterns

Extended from the carpet already in place into lift lobbies and across locker banks, connecting floor zoning to the walls.

Traditional hand-lettering

The canteen breaks from this deliberately. Traditional Latin American lettering and sayings in Spanish make it a warmer destination, a pause from the office floor.
