Aksarben Village Retirement Community - Case Study

The Aksarben Village Retirement Community is a wonderful, modern retirement community built in the middle of Omaha, Nebraska. They strive to provide services of the highest quality via a supportive environment that promotes the health, independence, security and social interaction of all residents. The community offers an assisted and memory care unit as well as an independent unit. Commons area are also available for residents to go to the salon, listen to music and engage in various activities.

Interior Wayfinding for Residents

The Aksarben Village Retirement Community needed flexible modular wayfinding signs to help manage potential room changes. The design also had to be simple and easy to read, with high contrast colors to offer the best legibility to residents, family and friends.

With subtle and warm colors, the signs are modern yet coordinate with the interior of the building and help reinforce the feeling of home for residents.

The project also included exterior signage which we kept very simple, easy to read and based on a few design elements of the building for consistency.
