An Ordinary Parking Garage Turned Extraordinary

An Ordinary Parking Garage Turned Extraordinary:

Who knew parking could be so fun? Or so “kaleidoscopy.” (Okay, we made that word up, but it seemed fitting). If we’d only known what the future of parking would hold we may not have endured such white-knuckled parallel parking snafus during Drivers Ed. The spectacular rainbow hued parking garage that you’re feasting your eyes on is the product of Craig Redman and Karl Maier, titled 72DP Mural Project. The dynamic duo is the brains behind Craig & Karl, a creative firm specializing in a genius array of colorful illustrations, installation, typography, editorial and pattern design. Craig & Karl’s most recent project is this shockingly colorful mural-turned-underground-parking-garage in Sydney. Their trademark eye-popping color occupies and award-winning residence and results in a dynamic mix of overlapping geometric forms that mirror and respond to the angularity of the architecture. We think they achieved their objective of breathing life into the space. How ‘bout you?
