This document proposes a green signage system for a residential building to help with wayfinding issues. It involves installing modular planter boxes with mother-in-law's tongue plants beside the lifts on select floors. The plants would spell out the floor number and act as a community engagement project. Details of the proposed design, materials, budget, timeline and group members are provided.

lifts do not go to each floor, but instead every 3rd floor
floor number is not indicated on any of the floors
this might cause residents to be confused at times about which
floor they are on

units of the flats do not have unit number indicated
can be seen on mailboxes @ ground floor

Lifts do not show floor number. Residents get confused even he stayed there for a
long time
Usage of the stairs. Stairs are dirty and smelly. Many things can be found on the
stairs: mattress, bottles, etc.
Signage. Wants handmade and unique signages. Eg. the one way road signs
looks boring.
The playground looks incomplete. Should have more play structures for the
children.
Urban farming. Is ok with this idea.
As of now, the vegetable garden is taken care by the person in charge of the
refuse collection center.
Mr Zul says the community could contribute money to upkeep the garden, for
example the fertilizer.

G R E E N S I G N A N G E
not only act as signage but also beautify each floor
makes it lively and may contribute to more pleasant odour
act as a community project as each residents of the specific floors need to work
together to take care of the plants (e.g. schedule watering of plants)
plants dying = floor residents not working together
planter box are removable so it can be arranged and customized
modular, easy to assemble
