The William Inglis Hotel, the first premium hotel offering in Western Sydney, located within the newly established Riverside Stables precinct and adjacent to the Warwick Farm Australian Jockey Club.
A unique hotel experience, with equine culture infused throughout the interior design.
Signage was designed as a pure representation of rural life and equine passion. Directional and informational signage included authentic elements of equine detailing, brass pins, leather stitched bridles, all suspended from the walls, reminiscent of saddlery in a barn.
Arrows, level numbers and icons were all crafted to appear as dimensional elements inspired by cast iron horse shoes. Small scale application and a less-is-more approach was taken to carefully balance the stylistic signage within the built environment.
Each of the eight guest-room levels was dedicated to an era of famous Australian racehorses, an informational brass plaque was incorporated into guest-room signage, celebrating the success of William Inglis yearlings.
