The Mott Foundation

A few years after designing their office in Flint, we partnered with the Mott Foundation again, this time to bring that same design language into their Investment Office in Ann Arbor.

This space sees less public foot traffic than the Flint location, but the Foundation still wanted the people who work there every day to feel connected to the same story: a century of investment in the people and places of Michigan. Rather than starting from scratch, we revisited the original Flint design files and refined them for a new space, adjusting scale, materials, and placement so the graphics would sit naturally within Ann Arbor's interior design instead of simply repeating what came before.

Archival imagery and milestone moments from the Foundation's history are woven throughout, giving the Investment Office staff a daily reminder of the communities and lives their work has impacted across Michigan for the past 100 years.
