Client Description
The shipping company, TOTE Maritime Alaska operates two cargo ships between the cities of Tacoma, WA and Achorage, AK. With historical roots in the Tacoma area, TOTE Maritime Alaska helped build the Port of Tacoma and has supported its and growth over the years, TOTE decided to relocate its headquarters to downtown Tacoma. The transition brings nearly 150 TOTE employees to enjoy the amenities Tacoma has to offer as well as being part of a growing, urban community.
Project overview
The concept for the environmental graphics is for each of their two office floors to correspond to each of their two shipping destinations, Tacoma and Anchorage. Tone on tone reflective wall graphics at the elevator lobbies on each floor, are graphic representations of each city skyline along with a TOTE ship leaving the port. Large scale wall graphics throughout the office combine local imagery with Tote Maritime photography of ships, ports, people and detailed close-ups. Images are collaged and colorized in order to create interesting textures and a unifying aesthetic. The graphics are surrounded with a thin painted metal frame to make them look more like art pieces, rather than floor to ceiling graphics. Glass privacy graphics in the large conference room on each floor highlight the largest mountains of each region.
