The anchor
Our most recent Orange County wall, and the clearest example of what we do here.
A technology company opening a second headquarters in an office park has the same problem as every other tenant there: one more low rise box, identified only by the lettering above the door. Painting the building solves that in a way signage cannot.
The exterior was treated as a single composition across more than one elevation, legible from across the parking lot and from the air. It makes the address recognizable before anyone reads a name, which is what a headquarters commission is usually really asking for.
The briefs here skew corporate and commercial rather than public art, which suits how an agency works.
Lobbies, open floors, stairwells and full building exteriors in the office parks around Irvine and Costa Mesa.
The highest impact option, and what turns a commercial building into a landmark.
Amenity spaces, courtyards and parking structures across apartment and mixed use projects.
Interior feature walls and street facing exteriors for shops, restaurants and hotels.
Live painting and campaign walls at Orange County events, launches and openings.
Strong year round sun, salt air and marine layer moisture, which is a specification problem we plan for rather than discover.
Worth knowing
This changes your timeline more than anything else.
Exterior murals inside the City of Los Angeles require Original Art Mural registration, a neighborhood notification window and a two year covenant recorded against the property, which together add roughly two to three months of lead time.
Most Orange County cities are considerably lighter. Requirements vary city by city and some have their own art or sign ordinances, so we confirm the rules with the relevant city on every project rather than assuming. In practice an Orange County exterior often moves faster than the same wall in Los Angeles. Interior work needs no permit anywhere.
We treat Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego as one service area, not an outpost.
