Identify
Arrival walls, entrances, compounds and building-facing surfaces that establish a clear sense of place.
Outdoor & Exterior
Make the outside part of the experience.
Exterior visual systems for façades, courtyards, compounds, entrances, hoardings and public-facing surfaces — specified around the real material, exposure and environment.
OUTDOOR
Beyond the interior
Placemaking, information and identity at architectural scale.
Outdoor work has to do more than look good. We consider the substrate, weather exposure, UV, moisture, access, viewing distance and cleaning before confirming how a project should be produced.
Turn a blank elevation into a destination.
Give streets, entrances and shared spaces a stronger identity.
Use perimeter and arrival surfaces to communicate before people enter.
Six exterior roles
Different places. Different jobs for the surface.
Exterior graphics can create identity, explain, direct, screen, promote or transform — but the production specification must respond to the actual site.
Guide
Directional information, parking guidance, pedestrian routes and public-facing orientation across larger sites.
Explain
Public information, development communication, tourism, heritage and interpretive graphics designed for outdoor viewing.
Promote
Campaign walls, construction hoardings, launch environments and branded surfaces that work at street scale.
Place-make
Large visual compositions that give courtyards, shared spaces and otherwise blank elevations a memorable identity.
Coordinate
Wall, selected rigid-surface and directional graphics planned as one visual language across the site.
Visual proof
Exterior work should belong to the architecture.
Scale, distance and context change how artwork is read outdoors. We design around the building and the route through the site rather than treating the wall as an isolated canvas.
Make the elevation part of the public experience.
Give a public-facing wall a reason to be noticed.
Coordinate messages across long routes and multiple surfaces.
Specified for exposure
The site decides the exterior setup.
Outdoor performance is project-specific. Paint chemistry, porosity, texture, moisture, sunlight, rainfall, cleaning, pollution and physical exposure all affect the recommended preparation and finish.
01
Assess the surface
We review the substrate, existing coatings, condition, access and whether the surface is appropriate for direct production.
02
Assess the exposure
Orientation, UV, rain, moisture, traffic, cleaning and local site conditions influence the production specification.
03
Test where required
Adhesion and finish can be checked on representative areas or samples before a large or demanding exterior installation.
04
Specify the protection
Where the project requires it, a compatible protective strategy can be considered around the intended exposure and maintenance regime.
No blanket durability claim. Exterior longevity depends on the real surface, exposure and maintenance. Pingendi confirms suitability and specification project by project.
More applications
Where exterior surfaces can work harder.
Decorative, directional, informational, commercial or civic — depending on the brief and the suitability of the real surface.
Start with the site
Send the exterior. We’ll assess the possibility.
A photo, rough dimensions, surface information and a short description of the exposure are enough to begin a concept and suitability review.
