Pentre Awel

Overview

Brand environment design and installation across this landmark multi-use leisure and wellbeing facility in Wales — with bilingual presentation throughout.

The striking layered design of transparent shards introduces a distinctive aesthetic carried consistently across the facility — from expansive feature walls to finely detailed transparent window treatments. Inspirational quotation graphics are positioned at strategic locations throughout, presented bilingually in Welsh and English.

Bilingual Wayfinding

Every touchpoint carries the dual-language identity — from entrance doors to directional panels and wall-mounted mission statements. Designed to feel consistent rather than translated, giving Welsh and English equal presence throughout.

Layered Vinyl Design

The layered shard concept extends beyond the walls and onto the building's glazing — using carefully varied print opacities to create depth, movement, and continuity across every surface. The graduated densities provide a natural degree of privacy for meeting areas while still allowing light to filter through, weaving the design language further into the fabric of the building.

Environmental Graphics

Geometric mural sequences echo the facility's energy across studios and corridors — each colourway distinct to its zone while remaining part of a single cohesive visual language that unifies the entire environment.

Scale & Impact

Large-scale corridor graphics reinforce the Actif brand across every shared space — turning circulation routes into moments of inspiration for staff and members alike, carrying the brand story from entrance to exit.
