Buckhorn Ranch Signs

SCJ Studio lead a design team to design a new entry sign and landscape and new street signage throughout Buckhorn Ranch. The sign package provides a unifying design aesthetic that extends through the entire development. The design is bold and deliberate using simple and pure materials (concrete, steel and wood) to establish a “ranch” character. Existing trees were pruned and cleaned up and additional planting included spruce and aspen trees, flowering native perennials, ornamental grasses and the use of landscape boulders for year-round structure and texture.

City of Chelan Wayfinding

SCJ worked with the City of Chelan and the Chelan Historic Downtown Association on improvements throughout the downtown area and along the waterfront of Lake Chelan. SCJ has been involved in all aspects of the projects, from visioning, traffic analysis, and funding, through design and construction management. The lake is a major tourist draw, and the significant bike and pedestrian traffic along with the associated parking issues demand a creative approach to maintain circulation and access while accommodating all modes of travel. Improvements include wider sidewalks, landscaping, illumination, pedestrian crossings, improved intersections, multi-use pathways and on-street parking.
