How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Hoults Yard in Ouseburn used to be one of the most famous pottery factories in the world - The Malling Pottery. Former industrial site, Hoults Yard is now a really popular and quirky office and studio space. It is owned by the Hoult family, who’s name has been painted above the entrance to the courtyard. Throughout the city, we can see more and more empty buildings being repurposed into new multifunctional spaces, and Hoults Yard puts an emphasis on bringing out the character of the original building while delivering simple state of the art office space and distinct areas of design character.
