A Jungle in the Desert
Dubai, UAE
4-Wall Interior Residential Mural
Spot the strong stare of a tiger, a fluttering blue butterfly, a toucan touched upon a branch,
and a plethora of jungle greenery.
A cozy corner showcases a nurturing gorilla nestled in a patch of plantains.
Two agile orangutans swing from the vines above.
Blossoming banana leaves
fold around a flock of flamingos.
The jungle floor reveals flourishing flora.
A jaguar catches rest upon a root,
while a snake above coils and constricts.
A tree frog lands upon a large leaf,
while a chameleon cowers among the plants.
A pair of parrots prop within a focal foliage tree,
while another parrot propels its wings.
Calming, captivating details capture a child's delight.
FROM THE CLIENT
THE PROCESS
The Client provided design direction and a list of elements to incorporate.
Design Direction
Design Drafting
We drafted designs to craft a general concept and layout.
Mural Installation
We received revision requests from the Client.
The Client requested a softer background color to lighten up the design color scheme.
Upon viewing the physical space in person, we made a few layout changes. We moved the flying parrot into the forefront of the waterfall, added a baby gorilla to accompany the mama, and switched out the waterfall cheetah for a couple of pink flamingos.
We added rocks to the waterfall's design upon the Client's plan to add a future rock climbing wall.
Creative problem solving is our strength!
Revision Requests
We prepared the walls and began to paint!
The mural was completed in 3.5 weeks.
Client Objective: The Dubai desert joins the jungle in an engaging and refreshing child-friendly play space featuring a desired list of
jungle animals, a focal tree, and waterfall.
