Featured Project: From Brief to Handover
This hospitality installation demonstrates our end-to-end approach—translating client vision into custom art installation for hospitality spaces that balance aesthetic impact with operational durability. Working within strict timelines and site-specific constraints, we curated photo based art pieces that serve as visual anchor walls commercial spaces, transforming a neutral lobby into a memorable arrival experience.
Selection Logic
Palette decisions began with the existing stone and bronze finishes, ensuring each artwork would complement rather than compete. Scale was calibrated to the 14-foot ceiling height and sight lines from reception—large enough to command attention, yet proportioned to maintain intimacy. Site context drove material choices: UV-resistant inks, museum-grade acrylic glazing, and low-reflectivity mounting to preserve visibility under varied natural light conditions throughout the day.
Installation Notes
Mounting hardware was concealed behind custom brass cleats, aligned to structural studs identified during the site survey. Lighting placement required coordination with the electrical contractor to achieve even illumination without hotspots or glare. Final finish details included hand-applied wax sealing on frame edges and a post-installation walkthrough to document placement, confirm leveling tolerances, and provide maintenance guidelines to the facility team.
