The Community Sailing Center has quite literally been built by and supported by the community it serves. To aptly acknowledge that support, we were tasked with creating a prominent wall display to recognize donors in the lobby of the new facility they helped bring to life.

An early technical sketch illustrates how the limited space within the busy lobby can be used effectively and how modular elements could allow for easy updates as needed.

As the design came to life, the backdrop of the display, like everything the CSC does, was Lake Champlain itself. Stretching across the entirety of the installation area, visiting sailors can identify familiar islands and inlets on this scale rendering. A dimensional logo marks the CSC’s central location on the lake.
