Brentwood Tower 6 Hoarding

April 25, 2023March 24, 2023 by mgadmin

The Amazing Brentwood Tower 6 Hoarding

The next phase of the Amazing Brentwood development is here and we are excited to be a part of it. This time we are starting off with printing and installing a massive hoarding for the highly anticipated tower six. Brentwood Tower 6 is part of the Brentwood Town Centre development, a mixed-use complex that includes residential, commercial, and retail spaces. The tower will stand 60 stories tall with 369 homes, making it one of the tallest buildings in Burnaby.

With the construction underway, we were assigned to cover part of the perimeter (facing toward the mall) with custom hoarding graphics. The beautiful hoarding stretches for 400+ feet in length and stands at 8 feet in height. In addition to the hoarding, we also produced a 12ft x 16ft site sign at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Halifax Street.

Our Work

SQFT of print

Painted Screws

ACP Sheets

Rolls of Vinyl

Rolls of Laminate

The project spanned over a couple of months from pre-planning to completion. Like all of our projects, a dedicated team was assigned to plan, manage, and oversee the production and installation.

We started the project with a thorough site check. Our team measured all the sizes and angles from which a digital template was created.
The client then used the supplied template to create their artwork.
Once the scope was set, we printed samples to ensure color quality and accuracy.
After the samples were approved, the job was sent to production where we started with precutting the ACP sheets.
The vibrant graphics were printed separately on our state-of-the-art printer using highly durable 3M Vinyl and Anti-Graffiti Laminate.
Each graphic panel was then meticulously hand-mounted onto the precut ACP sheets – a process that took over a week of labour.
In addition to the full panels, we produced 46 infill panels to cover the angled gaps at the bottom for a uniform appearance.
After the production was completed, we began the final stage of installation which was spread over multiple days.
For the final touch, each panel was screwed in using pre-painted screws to match the graphics and make the hoarding appear seamless.

Massive Building Wrap at YVR Airport

March 10, 2023September 29, 2022 by mgadmin

The First of Its Kind

Building Wrap in Vancouver

65,000 SQFT Building Wrap at The Vancouver International Airport

After almost a year of planning, producing, and installing this monumental project, we are absolutely thrilled to reveal our biggest project to date in its whole grandeur. Located just east of the Vancouver International Airport, the soon-to-be Airport Commerce Centre is impossible to miss with its fully wrapped sides showcasing YVR’s commitment to be carbon net zero by 2030.

Back in the summer of 2021 when the building went under construction, the team at YVR saw a great opportunity to emphasize their commitment to being the greenest airport in the world in the grandest way possible. Whether you are flying in, taking the Skytrain, or driving, the bold statement is towering above the surroundings that is visible for miles in all direction. What would otherwise have been an unsightly scaffolded site has now been transformed to reflect YVR’s branding, while glamourizing the path to YVR and concealing the future commerce centre for a grand reveal.

We are honored to have been trusted to execute a project of a scale the city has never seen before. Through this page, we hope to convey the months of hard work and dedication that went into this project. If you are ever in the vicinity, share your pics with us with the hashtag #yvrbuildingwrap. We would love to see it through your lens.

For more information on YVR’s commitment to carbon net zero, visit yvr.ca/netzero.

Our Work

For the first month and a half, our team went through an extensive pre-planning phase where they sat down with all the stakeholders including the installation and scaffolding teams. They then planned through the logistics involved in the production and installation of all four sides, the deliverables by each team, and the timeline it must be completed within. Once the plan was laid out, we produced and approved a few samples to test the installation method, color vibrancy, and the overflow of the image within the panels.

Due to the magnitude of the project, the production and installation phase was broken into four phases – each phase representing a side. The first phase was produced and installed towards the end of 2021, while the last one completing at the end of May. Throughout these 6 months, our team went through countless hours of printing, finishing, packing, and installing.

Production

The whole project was printed on 70 rolls of Mesh Banner media and required over 40 days of printing, and 16 days of finishing in total. A few samples and prototypes were created to ensure accuracy prior to producing the full banners.

Scaffolding

There was a thorough review of the scaffolding being used as it needed to withstand the weight and wind load of the banners. By providing the specs of our media and accessories, our scaffolding partners were able to engineer, produce, and install the scaffolding to our specific requirements.

Installation

Spread over six months and four phases, the installation took about 20 days in total. An 80-foot articulating lift was needed to attach all the banners at the top which were then rolled down and attached manually on the remaining three sides.

Vancouver Pride Graphics at YVR Airport (2022)

October 18, 2022August 15, 2022 by mgadmin

Vancouver Pride Window Graphics at the Vancouver International Airport

After successfully creating a unique and innovative underwater experience in 2019 where the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) teamed up with the Vancouver Aquarium to showcase the importance of respecting the oceans, the YVR team has once again utilized the space for another community project.

As part of the 2022 Vancouver Pride Festival, the YVR teamed up with the Vancouver Pride Society to create an art piece that highlights their support as an airport that welcomes all. The artwork spans over 66 windows on the crossover between the Domestic Terminal and Vancouver Airport Skytrain station. The stunning and vibrant artwork was designed by local artist, Lindsey McEwan. In an interview with the airport she said:

“My aim was to include as many of the (over 32+) pride flags as possible. Each representing queer communities around the world, I placed them in a way that demonstrated how intertwined we are while keeping the integrity of each flag used”

We were honored to be selected as the printing partner for this beautiful collaboration and we highly recommend checking it out in person if you get a chance. It is located on the crossway between the Domestic Terminal Building and the Vancouver Airport Skytrain Station.

"public art and design that elevates built environments to uplift and amplify communities."

Behind the Scenes

As with all large-scale projects, it all started with a pre-production meeting to go over the process, site measurements, timeline, and testing.

After reconfirming the window sizes and adjusting the artwork, we ran a few internal tests at various ink densities to ensure product quality matches the vision of our client, all in all, while ensuring the additional elements of text and icons remain vivid.

The whole project spanned over 2 weeks with 4 full nights of installation and over 1600+ sqft of windows covered.

See YVR's Previous Project

Kelp Forest (in Collaboration with Ocean Wise)

The unique experience of feeling like you are under water comes from the creative design and printing process. Solid elements such as text, icons, and kelp forest are all printed in three layers, while the water (gaps between the plantation) is printed with one layer of ink. When light passes through (whether natural or artificial), it gets blocked through the three layered areas while passing through the single layer. This lights the whole image up, while allowing you to see through the windows to create an illusion of walking under water.

Custom Floor Graphics at BC Children’s Hospital

August 22, 2022February 13, 2020 by mgadmin

Slip-resistant Floor Graphics at BC Children's Hospital

This beautiful project was a collaboration between Live 5210 and BC Children’s Hospital to bring about a creative way of encouraging kids to adapt healthy lifestyle. Through the use of playful graphics such as animal foot prints, hopscotches, and islands, the project seeks to make the hospital environment fun, while also serving as a tool to teach. Although, it is not unusual to see floor graphics at Hospitals (usually in the form of wayfinding), the opportunity to use them as a teaching tool was definitely the right fit in this context.

In the past, schools, community centers, and libraries have all used floor graphics to educate children. However, this was a first for Multigraphics where the blank canvas of the Hospital’s windows and floor were used as a medium to create a learning experience. Needless to say, we are very proud and excited to show the result of this wonderful initiative and how beautifully it all came together.

What is Live 5-2-1-0?

Live 5-2-1-0 provides four simple guidelines to help kids make healthy choices every day.

Image credit: https://www.live5210.ca/about-live-5-2-1-0/

How was Live 5-2-1-0 incorporated into the floor graphics at BC Children’s Hospital?

Floor decals are an easy addition to a passive environment to add vibrant color and help promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging children to hop, skip & jump as they travel down the hallway. They were used in conjunction with a scavenger hunt to promote children to follow the path and interact with the various graphic elements.

The graphics were placed in a part of the hospital which sees many families throughout the day. It is meant to capture attention, generate excitement and inform children and their parents of the benefits of following a Live 5-2-1-0 lifestyle. Graphics were also added to the staircase railings to create excitement and act as a path leading up to the 2^nd floor where the floor graphics were installed. Spirit Bear graphics were applied to the glass railing allowing viewability from both sides.

For more details on the project, visit https://www.live5210.ca/bcch/.

Our Work

The project started with a couple of test prints to finalize the material, color, and finishing.
Both 3M Clear Adhesive Vinyl and Anti-Slip Floor Laminate were chosen for the full job.
The prints consisted of:
- A 54 feet long by 8 feet wide river graphic
- A 12′ x 4′ Hopscotch
- A 8′ x 4′ Frog Jump and an Island
- 95 bear claws
- 105 duck feet
- 165 frog feet
- 50 Moose hooves
- Various fruits and shapes
Each graphic was printed, laminated, and cut to shape individually which were then installed on site piece by piece.
The project also required covering a small section of windows with clear vinyl graphics and a glass handrail with spirit bears.

Kelp Forest Window Graphics at the Vancouver International Airport

After successfully creating a unique and innovative underwater experience for its Wild Pacific Exhibit, Vancouver Aquarium teamed up with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to create an experiential art exhibit using the same process. The purpose of the collaboration was to demonstrate that respecting the ocean is everyone’s responsibility. As a community-based, not-for-profit organization, YVR donates more than $1 million annually to its partners who contribute to the community. This was one of the ways YVR showed its support to Vancouver Aquarium. The installation was also an effort to delight passengers with unique and exciting visual experience as they walk between the Domestic Terminal and Skytrain station.

If you wish to experience it in person, then head out to YVR and see it for yourself. It is located on the crossway between the Domestic Terminal Building and Vancouver Airport Skytrain Station.

Our Work

As with all large-scale projects, it all started with a pre-production meeting to go over the process, site measurements, timeline, and testing.
The first step was to conduct a thorough site-check to ensure we have accurate window measurements as it will be used to create the artwork.
Once we had the artwork, we ran a few internal tests at various ink densities to ensure product quality matches the previous job we did at Vancouver Aquarium, all in all, while ensuring the additional elements of text and icons remain vivid.
After the tests were approved, we produced the prints in three phases (22 windows in each phase). This was to ensure the best efficiency as we could print and install side-by-side to reduce the turnaround time.
The whole project spanned over 3 weeks with over 1600+ sqft of windows covered. The completed project can be seen below.

Dichroic Film Christmas Tree at John Fluevog

August 22, 2022December 10, 2019 by mgadmin

One-of-a-kind Dichroic Film Christmas Tree at John Fluevog

It’s that magical time of year again when streets are lined with decorations, people are joyous, and the smell of Christmas is in the air. People are rushing to get gifts for their loved ones, while retailers are focusing on creating an enchanting experience for them in return.

Each year, retail stores push themselves to create the most eye-catching displays for their holiday season, with creative decorations utilizing lights, colors, props, and signage. This year was no exception, with many stores outdoing themselves. However, one brand went above and beyond, and created something truly unique.

Nestled in a quaint area of Water Street in downtown Vancouver, John Fluevog’s flagship store has an undeniably spectacular holiday display this year. If you visit, you will find a giant 25-foot-tall Christmas tree made up of dozens of Acrylic panels, covered with 3M™ Dichroic Film all assembled on a metal frame. This head-turning reflective design is the brainchild of John Fluevog’s creative marketing team, and it is certainly a sight to behold. It has already created a huge buzz around the city, with many flocking to the store to get a chance to capture that perfect holiday Instagram post.

You can see some of the finished work below, but we recommend making a trip to the store yourself, so you can see the most magical Christmas tree in town this year.

Our Work – Creating the 25 Foot Tall Dichroic Christmas tree

Conducted multiple tests to ensure the Dichroic film, cut acrylic pieces, and drill holes all align with the client’s vision.
Produced 202 cut-to-shape acrylic pieces.
- Each covered with 3M™ Dichroic Film that gives it the dynamic effect of color shifting when viewed from different angles.
- Half the pieces were covered in Blaze (Gold-Blue) Dichroic Film, while the other half was covered with Chill (Copper-Bronze) Dichroic Film.
Each piece was carefully cut to shape with drilled holes for assembly.
Throughout production, pre-mask was applied as a precaution to prevent scratches, dust, and hand prints on the finished pieces.
All individual pieces were then supplied to John Fluevog who then assembled them together to complete the project.
The whole project spanned over 2 months.

Japan Un Layered Exhibit | Fairmont Pacific Rim

March 19, 2021August 3, 2017 by mgadmin

JAPAN UN LAYERED EXHIBIT | FAIRMONT PACIFIC RIM

Fairmont Pacific Rim recently hosted the “Japan Unlayered” exhibition celebrating contemporary Japanese architecture, design and culture, and Multigraphics played a big part in producing all of the displays.

Japan Unlayered was curated by master Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, his firm Kengo Kuma & Associates (KKAA) and the developers-owners of Fairmont Pacific Rim, Westbank and Peterson. The exhibition explored the in-depth collaboration between KKAA and Westbank, to present Japanese craftsmanship alongside contemporary design to illustrate that the defining principles of Japanese design remain the same despite the evolution of technology.

The complimentary exhibition, displayed over two levels of Fairmont Pacific Rim, pays tribute to the Japanese philosophy of layering, where overlapping elements define an overall experience, and which Kuma-san’s work embodies. A retrospective look at the architecture of Kengo Kuma, from its small beginnings to its current large-scale works, is among the displays and the exhibition will extend beyond his work to include Japanese design from a wide range of fields and brands.
