St David´s

St David’s has completely changed the face of Wales’s capital city. The £675m development has brought an exciting array of new stores, cafés, restaurants and luxury residential apartments to the heart of Cardiff, as well as enhanced public areas and facilities and a new central library. 

Stills has worked with St David’s since the beginning – we produced and erected hundreds of meters of graphics as well as multi-media presentations and display areas to keep the general public informed of construction progress and to communicate the benefits of the project to the wider community.

As the shopping centre neared completion, we got involved in the launch campaign, creating golden tickets for 20 lucky winners to attend the launch party and access the shopping centre before anyone else.

We have applied the St David’s brand right the way through the centre, from way faring information to a giant St David’s ‘D’ that adorns the glass front of the facility. Branding continues throughout the car park where messages welcome visitors and painstakingly stencilled detail brings the brand to life. Take a look at some signage photos.

We have also had great input into the areas that aren’t visible to the public; we designed and fitted out the centre’s management suite, the workspace and meeting area at the heart of the centre. A bespoke desk was crafted for the corridor-shaped reception area and the boardroom has been given a sweeping gradient wallpaper incorporating the centre’s colours.

In a bid to enhance the public spaces an outdoor chess area was commissioned with concrete and marble chess tables and our branded wooden chess pieces can be hired for a refundable deposit (when the weather permits!)
