Arch Grants Offices

Arch Grants is a global start-up not-for-profit that leads and sustains entrepreneurial development in the City of St. Louis. Arch Grants’ mission is to create opportunity for entrepreneurs globally through an annual start-up competition based in St. Louis. The organization supports these entrepreneurs, or “Founders,” as they call them, through equity-free grants and professional services. Supporting Founders on their journeys, from idea to launch, the organization provides an open-for-use and dynamic workspace for all those who need it. Their office space also accommodates events for crucial fundraising engagements.

Our design team worked with Arch Grants to integrate their brand into their headquarters through experiential graphics, workplace branding, and exterior signage. Their team faced challenges with a noticeable street presence for guests arriving at their building and suite. With the proper signage, this non-profit can achieve the visibility in the City of St. Louis that it deserves with a seamless guest entry experience.

For the exterior, the design team created sophisticated signage heralding the location of the offices. On the building interior, the designers translated the not-for-profit’s brand identity into an impactful moment to signal the office entrance. As you enter the space, a large-scale wall covering uses Arch Grants’ bright color palette and messaging. Their tagline, “Champion the Bold,” welcomes founders and funders alike into the open work area establishing a befitting atmosphere to inspire and engage all who enter. Arch Grants has a tremendous impact on the City of St. Louis through the creation of jobs and generating commerce, and the additional graphics throughout the space support and strengthen their mission.
