Brookfield Houston Outdoor City Murals

Made in Texas | Cheers Houston | Hey Y’all

Client: Brookfield Properties
Location: Houston, TX

Here’s to HOU

Take a stroll through downtown Houston: pass the horse carriages, wave hello to the friendly Astros fans, and stop by the six outdoor murals standing at McKinney street. Houston Center served as a fantastic outdoor venue for us to plant down six pieces of hand painted wall art that represent the pride and love Houstanites have for their city. On a large wall with no windows, surrounded by concrete with no visible art, this location couldn’t have been more perfect for creating something that really popped.

We designed these murals with the goal of appealing to a younger crowd. As the location is close to both a baseball and basketball stadium, the street got some good traffic from the typical sports fan, but now we wanted to draw in families, females, and millennials in their 20s-40s. We hand-lettered and painted the Brookfield Properties commissions over the course of seven hot days. The paint drips were intentional. However, the sweat was not. Along with the six outdoor murals that are visible from the street, we installed two indoor murals at One Allen Center: one on a wooden canvas that is 12ft x 8ft, and the other done in vinyl. Located downstairs near the food court, these babies are the perfect vibrant pieces for the underground space.

Take a gander. 

These murals are located at 1 Allen Center, Houston, TX 77002 and the outdoor murals run along McKinney St. Next time you find yourself exploring Houston, tag us when you see our murals!
