Irene Studios Housing Development

Irene Studios is a new development of design-led apartments in the heart of Balham, London. Irene House is an ex-office building that was redeveloped into private studio and 1-2 bed apartments. The map and communications were designed to show the local amenities, green spaces and transport links in the area.

Art directors OpenAgency used illustrators who had connections to the local area to create their representation of the local area and community. I'd previously lived in Tooting, so was delighted to create these illustrated maps to show off the location.
