Pupils returning to Stanmore Public School in Sydney after the Easter break will have a whole new reason to get lost in a good book thanks to Frost* Design’s recent work on their new library.
Working in conjunction with Neeson Murcutt Architects we helped to bring the new library building to life with a series of signage and environmental graphics utilising a bright colour palette and playful typography. Colourful identification signs and a custom-printed recycled carpet tile bring a sense of fun to the library interior, whilst large scale book quotes painted onto an external walkway animate the journey through the playground. Suddenly detention in the library doesn’t seem like such a bad thing…

At Frost* something we love doing is going out to see and review projects as they are coming to life on site. One of our most recent projects, Qantas Hangar 245 at Sydney international Airport was no exception.
Hanger 245 houses one of Qantas’s Boeing 747 aircrafts. The hanger is highly visible from the Terminal lounges and parts of Qantas Boulevard, making it an exciting site to work with.
We eagerly took the opportunity to roll out a new Qantas look and feel and apply this to the doors of the hanger.
Our response conceptually is both prominent and playful. The idea of the hangar doors opening and closing with the famous kangaroo animating was captivating. Being on the tarmac that close to the runway was an amazing experience! Watch it come to life!

Sydney’s southern CBD precinct is set for a stunning revamp over the next few years.
We are proud and delighted to be involved in two major projects as part of the Frasers Property and Sekisui House Central Park development and the UTS City Campus Master Plan, which are both taking part in shaping and revitalising the greater site and community.
Cranes and hoardings up, the transformation is just beginning

UTS Business School came to Frost* to create a leadership piece that embodies their repositioning based around integrative thinking and creating the next generation of leaders. Our solution came from the heart of their process, which is founded in design thinking. Post it notes integral to their u.lab brainstorming sessions were used to create a hand-crafted typeface and design language. The structure takes an editorial approach, allowing them to communicate on many different levels, and to highlight alumni who are navigating some of Australia’s most influential organisations, as well as well as heroing the School’s Dr Chau Chak Wing Building by Frank Gehry (which we are also designing signage for).
