Make your built environment accessible to all

The physical world is simply not designed with the needs of blind and partially sighted people in mind. These users are part of the £35.6 billion consumer market value represented by visually impaired UK consumers. Ignore their needs and you’re ignoring the needs of potential employees and customers. However, with just a few minor changes, we can modify our physical spaces to enable individuals with sight loss to live independently.

Leaning on 150 years of experience and research, we can design accessible wayfinding services that help people with sight loss confidently get around in your environment. This can be achieved with:

• Accessible images: by augmenting images with embossing and informative, descriptive labelling, your visually impaired users can quickly and easily understand the meaning of graphical elements, artwork and photography.
• Accessible hand-held maps: specially embossed tactile maps allow people with sight loss to explore your spaces safely, confidently and independently.
• Accessible signage: using braille, tactile pictograms and large print text with strong visual contrast, we can help to make your signage accessible while staying in line with your brand guidelines.
• Accessible touch installations: custom-designed sensory experiences improve immersive experiences for all users, including those with disabilities and learning difficulties.
• RNIB Map for All: we design, manufacture and install interactive maps complete with braille text and embossed wayfinding elements that ensure floor and environment plans are accessible to everyone.

Working with you, we can handle every stage, from initial ideation, through design and content drafting, and product manufacturing, ensuring prompt, cost-effective delivery that meets the demands of your design project, large or small.
