Tree Whimsy

Dimensional and Flat Murals for a New Pediatric Floor

Location: University Health System, Pediatric Cardiac Care Unit, San Antonio, TX

Tree Whimsy is a collection of related artworks that provides solace, beauty, and wayfinding for a newly constructed pediatric cardiac care unit. Happy Wall Design created Flat Murals for corridors, Dimensional Murals for a playroom and an entrance-wall, and coordinated, custom cut vinyl for a window with a problematic view. Our goal was to create a whimsical, thematic environment that would provide young patients and their families with a positive distraction during hospital stays. Check out our Instagram for more images.

BIG NEWS! Tree Whimsy has been included in the CODAawards top100, and as a top ten finalist in the Healthcare Category. The internationally acclaimed CODAawards celebrate the projects that most successfully integrate commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces.

Sea Turtle Greeting

Wallpaper Mural for a Pediatric X-ray Room

Location: University Health System, Pediatric Emergency Department, San Antonio, TX

This x-ray room was beige and rather stark (visit our Instagram for the before and after pictures). Happy Wall Design created an immersive, calming environment with a floor-to-ceiling wallpaper mural. The large kindly sea turtle is placed at child-height for the benefit of young patients on the x-ray table. The dense underwater imagery is filled with hidden sea creatures for pediatric patients to discover.

Aquarium

A 60 ft Dimensional Mural, Pop-Up Prints, and More for a Pediatric ER

Location: University Health System, Children's Emergency Department, San Antonio, TX

A newly renovated pediatric ER requested aquarium-themed art for their emergency department. We came up with a combination of Dimensional Murals and Pop-Up Prints and wallpaper that would create a positive distraction and a welcoming vibe for children and their families. The sea creatures in this Dimensional Mural are intentionally designed as friendly greeters. They have been placed at a special "child-height"  for young patients arriving by ambulance who are wheeled through this corridor on a gurney.
