In a recent project for the Memorial Hermann cardio clinic in the Texas Medical Center, art plays a key role in creating a calming atmosphere. We curated a nature-inspired photography collection to complement the clinic’s stunning views from its 30th floor location, bringing serene beauty indoors. A striking wall graphic behind the reception desk serves as the focal point for visitors as they enter the space, setting a tranquil tone for the entire collection. The art creates a cohesive, soothing vibe that echoes throughout the space, warming guests and staff alike.
