“The mural at Puka's Bar and Restaurant in Whole Foods Kahala is a lighted mosaic comprised of 125 individually backlit acrylic panels, which climb the wall and spill over the ceiling of the seating area, in the suggestion of a curling wave. The photograph is “Ocean Eagle” by world-renowned Hawaiian photographer Clark Little, showing a native Green Sea Turtle swimming behind a North Shore wave. The mural covers approximately 300 square feet of wall and ceiling.”
“Arbor Vitae is the spectacular visual and ceremonial central focus of St. Jude's Catholic church. It is the reredos wall, the backdrop to the altar that conveys essential spiritual messages. In this case, the message is an abstract version of the tree of life, depicting the continuity of everlasting life and spiritual community. The 22' tall x 8' wide wall is made of fused and textured float glass panels that are laminated to sandblasted mirror and set in a custom stainless steel armature.” https://www.codaworx.com/project/arbor-vitae-st-jude-the-apostle-catholic-church
“The client approached Radlab to create two feature walls as part of their customer's office fit-out for a new 60k square foot space in Cambridge, MA. The book and oar walls are whimsical studies of the field condition and the wave condition respectively. The 'reclaimed' books aggregate to form an objectscape of physical voxels, each with their own dimensional, color, and texture qualities. Using the functionality of the oar as a driver for the composition of the oar wall, not only do the oars undulate in elevation, they also gently rotate in plan.”
“The Birth of a City by Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin is a 16-panel, bronze bas-relief installation on the exterior walls of a new community amphitheater, situated next to an architecturally significant building and across the street from a downtown hub of services for the homeless. The installation features iconic and lesser-known Dallas histories in each 6’x4’ sculpted panel, where the artists have expanded upon a Dallas-based narrative told in a lost mural from the 1930s, when the block was originally built. This was a time when Dallas was transformed from a hardscrabble, parochial town to a cosmopolitan, international city.
