Summer 2021 - Broad Ripple Indianapolis

(873ft x 8ft)

Milhaus reached out to Nick to design, facilitate, and install a mural onto a wall façade along a massive parking area. Due to the scale of the wall(s), minimalist geometric abstraction was an efficient solution for the space to engage and compliment the nearby architecture of the development.

Nick has been in discussions with Milhaus for projects in the past, and has been excited to partake in a project with them as they have a reputation for being an innovative developer. Like Nick, they’re creative, forward-thinking. When this opportunity to collaborate with them on this extremely long building design came about, both parties were ecstatic to get the ball rolling.

Colourway is informed by overall AYR/Milhaus brand palette, with subtle nods to Indianapolis recognizable colors. Deep blues, vibrant yellows, etc. Overall composition and linework based roughly off of nearby shadows casted on the wall structure during odd hours of the day in different summer months. Hues and shapes nod to the subtle architectural intricacies at the development. From furniture design, to décor. Studying the site mockups and concepts prior to install helped inform the design greatly.

This was Nick’s longest (ft) mural to date and was an immense experience from start to finish. Both complex and lengthy, the task was interesting amid very hot summer months.

Tenants of AYR now enjoy this mural entering and exiting the living premises on a daily basis. Mural can be seen along Rural Street as well.
