The original Dr. Wilkinson’s neon sign is iconic for the town of Calistoga, however it’s seen many changes over the years, not always for the better.

For the street-facing signage, we decided to keep the iconic neon and integrate the refreshed branding and tagline into the built-in frames beneath.

The only hiccup? The town felt the butt-crack line in the logomark was a bit edgy and asked for us to scale it back a bit.

The backyard was created as a way to bring a relaxing, communal space in between the two halves of the original property.
