Intentions
This Supplementary Planning Document was designed in collaboration with RCKa for Lewisham Council, to provide guidance and assistance to people hoping to create small sites housing in the borough. The intention was to create a visually compelling document that was friendly and accessible, and conveyed information very clearly to people of all ages, and everyone from beginners to experts.
Execution
The portrait book spread format (two book pages side by side) worked well for easy reading on screen as a pdf and in print as a book, and the comparatively large type size, large leading and bold type hierarchy contributed to making reading accessible. Ease of navigation was important, so a system was developed based on tabs in the upper right corner of each recto. The cover’s isometric typographic grid provided another nod to the content of the document.
