Mural instillation for an architectural group, building a new development in the town of Sittingbourne

Tasked by Tristan Properties and Kristofer Adelaide Architecture I was commissioned to design and install a mural installation in the town of Sittingbourne.

The mural installation was painted on the hoarding boards of a new residential development, and was a nod to Sittingbourne cultural history as part of the Pilgrims way, a journey from Winchester to Canterbury. Overall the installation took three days to complete working with a talented collective of local designers and artists.

Challenge

The project was a complex and ambitious endeavor, involving detailed coordination with stakeholders and the recruitment of additional artists. It was the largest project I had undertaken at the time, requiring me and my team to hand-paint over 85 square meters. I managed all aspects of client communication, from the initial consultation to the final delivery, ensuring a seamless and successful outcome.

Solution

Given the number of contributors and stakeholders involved, effective personnel management and clear communication were vital throughout the project. The greatest challenge lay in the project's sheer scale and the complexity of translating a digital design into a large, physical installation in the real world.
