Bringing Heneghan's office to life
Share
Heneghan Architecture, a growing and reputable architectural practice, approached us with a challenge: a very large, blank, and uninspiring wall in their office.
They knew they wanted something that would reflect their brand, but were unsure of what that would look like or who could help them make the vision a reality. Fortunately, we came recommended to them as experts in turning spaces into statements.
The Challenge:
Heneghan Architecture's office had a prominent blank wall that detracted from the professional and creative atmosphere the team wanted to cultivate. They needed artwork that would not only fill the space but also represent their brand and incorporate their company colours. However, they didn't have a clear idea of what they were looking for, so we needed to guide them through the creative process.
Our Approach:
We began by meeting with Dan Heneghan to understand his vision for the office and the essence of the Heneghan brand. The goal was to create a piece that would visually communicate their architectural expertise while staying true to their brand identity.
We shared examples of how different styles could use their brand colours effectively and create a dynamic yet professional impact on the space. Through our step-by-step process, Dan and his team could visualise how the final piece would look and feel in their workspace.
The Result:
We designed three canvases - a total width of around 2.4 m. Working with Fastsigns Leeds, we designed the centre canvas to have the Heneghan logo printed on it. Using this tested process, this meant we could create the art around the logo and also on the two canvases either side of the centre piece.
The final artwork transformed the once blank wall into a statement piece that truly reflects Heneghan Architecture’s brand. The design utilized their brand colours in a sophisticated and subtle way, enhancing the office’s overall atmosphere without overwhelming the space. Dan and his team were thrilled with the result, noting how the piece now serves as a central feature in the office and an important part of their working environment.
Behind the scenes:
Here's how we created the piece. And you can see all our Behind the scenes videos on our YouTube channel.
"It isn't just artwork for me. I am coming up to 12 months in our office in Honley, I now have 4 members of staff and we have have 110 jobs on the books for 2024.
Mike's brilliant artwork signifies a milestone for me, a realisation that I am not a one man band, not a flash in the pan business. We're here to stay, to train apprentices and mould them into talented architectural professionals with sound knowledge and career prospects ahead of them. We're building a company that we want to be proud of, integrated in our local community, building strong relationships with our clients and colleagues and being invested in them, as they are in us.
This artwork is an emblem of our future at Heneghan Architecture"
