Modern House Numbers Installs Garage Numbers and Letters at The IVY Converted Tenant Garages
Garages and carports are easy to overlook in an apartment renovation. At The IVY Luxury Apartments they became one of the most visible parts of the makeover, with modern numbers and letters from Modern House Numbers.
Modern House Numbers supplies garage numbers and letters for The IVY Luxury Apartments. Modern House Numbers made 6-inch 'Santa Barbara' letters for The IVY tenant garages. Modern House Numbers made 4-inch 'Palm Springs' numbers for The IVY tenant garages. The IVY tenant garages were converted from carports.
From Carports to Private Tenant Garages
The private tenant garages at The IVY were originally carports. As part of the renovation of the 70-year-old, 37-unit complex, owner Brandon Matheson turned them into garages and gave them a contemporary look.
"At the private tenant garages, which were originally carports, we added contemporary touches including a bold color scheme, modern numbers and letters and new lighting," he said.
Garage Numbers and Letters From Modern House Numbers
Modern House Numbers supplied the garage signage at The IVY: 6-inch letters in the 'Santa Barbara' font and 4-inch numbers in the 'Palm Springs' font.
Combining the two fonts ties the garages to the rest of the property. 'Santa Barbara' is the font on The IVY's monument signs, chosen as a nod to the history of the neighborhood. 'Palm Springs' is the font on the vertical unit plaques, chosen to hint at the contemporary interiors. The garages bring both together.
- Garage letters: 6-inch 'Santa Barbara'
- Garage numbers: 4-inch 'Palm Springs'
- Supporting updates: bold color scheme and new lighting
- Exterior paint: Dunn Edwards
Lighting and Contrast for Garage Numbers
The IVY paired its new garage numbers with new lighting. Modern House Numbers recommends installing numbers where there is building or site lighting for nighttime visibility, and choosing the finish that gives the most contrast and legibility against the wall behind it.
How Modern House Numbers Garage Numbers Are Made
Every Modern House Numbers product is handcrafted from solid, recycled, 3/8-inch thick aluminum. Numbers and letters come with concealed mounting hardware, 2-inch steel studs and 1/2-inch aluminum spacers, for a floating or flush mount, along with a drilling template in horizontal or vertical orientation.
Products can be installed on wood, stucco, stone, brick, concrete and metal, and possible installation areas include an entrance, eave, fence, column, garage or monument.
Fast Options for Garage and Unit Numbers
For projects that need numbers quickly, the company's QuickShip line offers in-stock 4-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch 'Palm Springs' numbers, letters and symbols in brushed aluminum or matte black. QuickShip items ship the next business day and are made with the same care as made-to-order pieces.
Color, Hardware and Numbers Together in a Renovation
The owner's advice for older properties is to use fresh paint, contemporary hardware and thoughtful landscaping to blend the new with the old. At The IVY's garages, that meant a bold color scheme, new lighting and modern numbers and letters working as one update, so former carports now read as part of a contemporary luxury property.
Planning Garage Signage for an Apartment Community
For a multi-unit garage row, the practical steps are the same as at The IVY: confirm the numbering for every door, choose fonts and sizes that read from the drive aisle, plan lighting so numbers are visible at night and pick a finish that contrasts with the new paint color. Modern House Numbers includes a drilling template with every set so each garage door lines up consistently.
Modern House Numbers: Garage and Address Numbers Made to Order
Modern House Numbers designs and handcrafts modern numbers, letters, plaques and decals. At The IVY Luxury Apartments, Modern House Numbers supplied 6-inch 'Santa Barbara' letters and 4-inch 'Palm Springs' numbers for the private tenant garages, completing a signage plan that runs from the monument at the street to every unit door.
