How Greenhouse Sport Centre Uses Modular Office Branding

Community sports centres are built on people, support, and shared values. At Greenhouse Sport Centre, donations play a crucial role in keeping the facility active, accessible, and sustainable for the local community. When Greenhouse approached us, they wanted more than a simple thank-you sign—they wanted a way to visibly celebrate their sponsors within the building itself.

Our team worked closely with Greenhouse to create an office branding feature that felt positive, modern, and meaningful. The goal was to turn sponsor recognition into a permanent, eye-catching feature, while ensuring the solution could grow as new donations were made over time.

This case study outlines how we designed, produced, and installed a modular donation wall that reflects community spirit and long-term thinking.

What Was the Office Branding Brief from Greenhouse Sport Centre?

From the outset, the brief focused on visibility, appreciation, and flexibility. Greenhouse wanted to publicly thank their sponsors in a way that felt authentic and aligned with their values as a community-driven organisation.

Our team was asked to create a solution that:

• Clearly recognised donors and sponsors
• Sat within a key internal walkway with high footfall
• Felt permanent, not temporary or replaceable
• Could be added to regularly as new donations came in
• Reflected the centre’s existing brand colours and identity

Just as importantly, the finished wall needed to feel welcoming and uplifting—something that staff, visitors, and sponsors could feel proud of every time they walked past it.

Why Did We Choose a Modular Branding Approach for Sponsor Recognition?

One of the biggest challenges we identified early on was future growth. Greenhouse receives ongoing support, and any static sponsor board would quickly become outdated. To solve this, our team proposed a modular printed block donation wall. Instead of relying on one large panel or graphic, the wall would be built from individual blocks that could be added to over time.

This modular system allowed us to:

• Future-proof the wall without redesigning it
• Add new sponsor elements as donations increase
• Keep costs under control by producing only what’s needed
• Maintain visual balance as the wall grows

By taking this approach, every new donation becomes a physical addition to the wall—reinforcing the idea that the project evolves alongside the organisation.

How Did Our Team Design the Modular Donation Wall?

Designing the wall was about more than layout—it was about creating something that felt celebratory without being overwhelming. Our team carefully planned the composition so the feature would feel balanced, energetic, and intentional.

Rather than grouping similar colours together, we designed the wall to spread brand colours across the entire feature. This creates visual movement and ensures the wall feels dynamic when viewed from different angles within the space.

Key design considerations included:

• Even distribution of colour across the wall
• Consistent spacing between each block
• Visual impact both up close and from a distance
• How the feature would integrate into a busy sports environment

The final design ensures the wall draws attention naturally without dominating the surrounding space.

What Materials Did We Use to Create the Office Branding Blocks?

Material choice was critical to achieving both durability and a high-quality finish. Our team produced each block using Foamex, a lightweight but robust material commonly used for interior signage and office branding.

Foamex was ideal for this project because it offers:

• A smooth, professional surface
• Clean edges for precise installation
• Lightweight properties suitable for interior walls
• Long-term durability in high-traffic areas

To add depth and visual interest, we manufactured the blocks in three different thicknesses:

• 5mm Foamex
• 10mm Foamex
• 20mm Foamex

This variation creates a layered, three-dimensional effect that immediately elevates the feature wall beyond a flat printed sign. Each block was then wrapped in printed vinyl, colour-matched to Greenhouse Sport Centre’s brand palette. This ensured consistency across the wall and helped maintain a strong visual identity throughout the space.

How Did Our Team Fix the Branding Blocks Without Visible Fixings?

A clean, seamless finish was a key requirement for this project. Visible screws or fixings would have distracted from the design and reduced the overall impact of the wall. To achieve the desired look, our team applied high-strength double-sided tape to the back of each block. This method allowed the blocks to sit flush against the wall while creating a subtle floating effect.

This fixing approach offered several benefits:

• No visible hardware interrupting the design
• Reduced disruption to the wall surface
• Faster installation compared to mechanical fixings
• Flexibility for future updates and additions

Accuracy during installation was essential, as even minor misalignment would be noticeable once the wall was complete.

How Did We Install the Donation Wall Efficiently in a Busy Walkway?

Although the finished wall appears simple, the installation process required careful planning. Each block is installed individually, which makes precision and consistency critical.

To streamline the process, our team created a large, labelled installation template. This template showed the exact position of every block and allowed our installers to work efficiently and confidently. This structured approach reflects the same level of care and planning applied across our wider installation services.

The installation process involved:

• Positioning the template in the correct location
• Installing each block one by one
• Regularly checking alignment, spacing, and level
• Ensuring the colour distribution matched the design plan

While this method was time-consuming, it ensured a professional finish and significantly reduced the risk of errors.

Why Was Attention to Detail So Important for This Office Branding Project?

Because the donation wall sits in a prominent walkway, it’s viewed repeatedly throughout the day. Any inconsistencies would have been immediately noticeable.

Our team paid close attention to:

• Precise spacing between blocks
• Clean vinyl application on every piece
• Accurate alignment across the entire wall
• Maintaining visual balance as the design came together

This attention to detail is what transforms the wall from a collection of blocks into a cohesive, high-impact branding feature.

What Was the Final Result of the Greenhouse Sport Centre Branding Project?

The completed donation wall now acts as a central visual feature within the building. It publicly thanks sponsors while reinforcing Greenhouse Sport Centre’s identity and values.

The finished wall:

• Celebrates donors in a visible, meaningful way
• Enhances a high-traffic internal space
• Provides a modular system ready for future growth
• Reflects the community-focused nature of the organisation

Rather than being a static display, the wall continues to evolve as support for the centre grows.

Frequently Asked Questions for Greenhouse Sport Centre

What is a modular donation wall, and how does it work?

A modular donation wall is made up of individual branded elements rather than one fixed panel. For Greenhouse Sport Centre, we designed printed Foamex blocks that can be added to over time as new donations are made. This approach allows sponsor recognition to grow naturally without redesigning or replacing the entire wall.

Why is modular office branding better than a static sponsor board?

Static sponsor boards can quickly become outdated and costly to replace. By using a modular system, we created a future-proof solution that allows new sponsor blocks to be added individually. This keeps the branding relevant, cost-effective, and visually balanced as support for the centre continues to grow.

What materials did you use for the donation wall?

We produced the blocks using Foamex in multiple thicknesses (5mm, 10mm, and 20mm) to create depth and visual interest. Each block was wrapped in printed vinyl matched to the Greenhouse Sport Centre brand colours, ensuring a clean, durable, and consistent finish suitable for a high-traffic internal space.

Can modular office branding be used in other environments?

Yes. While this project was designed for a community sports centre, modular office branding works well in offices, schools, charities, and commercial spaces. Our team often recommends this approach for organisations that want branding solutions that are flexible, scalable, and designed to evolve over time.
