A Dimensional Mural for a Pediatric Floor

Location: University Health System Sky Tower, San Antonio, TX

Happy Wall Design just installed this 32-foot-long, floor-to-ceiling Party in the Park mural in an open-concept waiting room that doubles as a play area for young patients who are experiencing lengthy hospital stays. The inspiration behind this mural is to bring the park indoors to spark humor and imaginative thinking.  In this narrative, the animals that typically live in a park, but are normally out of site, have emerged and are making their way to a birthday party.

This area is still under construction, so for now, we have a few cell phone snaps to share. More pictures coming soon.

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.

Dimensional Murals, Pop-Up Prints, and Signage for a Pediatric Clinic

Location: New Braunfels Pediatric Associates, PA, New Braunfels, TX

A newly constructed pediatric clinic asked Happy Wall Design to create a lighthearted, underwater, sea-creature theme throughout their clinic. We made large Dimensional Murals for their main and infant waiting rooms. The Dimensional Murals are filled with hidden creatures and colorful underwater imagery that encourages exploration. We added circular, sea-creature Pop-Up Prints and coordinated signage for their nine treatment rooms. On top of that, we really had fun with additional humorous signage for the restrooms along with wayfinding signage throughout the clinic.
