Manhattan Commercial Mural | Floral Office Staircase Art for WestCap

This commercial mural project was completed in the heart of Manhattan for WestCap, transforming a functional staircase into an immersive, nature-inspired transition space. The mural connects the interior office environment with the rooftop terrace above, visually extending the outdoor experience throughout the building.

The artwork features a botanical composition inspired by native New York flowers and plants—many of which can also be found on the building’s rooftop terrace. By mirroring the local landscape, the mural creates continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces while grounding the artwork in regional identity. The floral forms soften the architectural lines of the stairwell and introduce warmth, movement, and color into a high-traffic interior circulation area.

Designed specifically for a commercial office setting, the mural enhances the daily experience of employees and visitors as they move through the space. Rather than serving as decoration alone, the artwork functions as a placemaking element—encouraging movement, curiosity, and connection to nature within a dense urban environment.

The mural was painted directly on-site inside an active office building, requiring thoughtful coordination, adaptability, and attention to detail. The vertical flow of the composition naturally guides viewers upward, reinforcing the physical journey from the workspace to the rooftop terrace. Durable, professional-grade materials were used to ensure longevity in a heavily trafficked commercial setting.

This project reflects the growing role of custom murals in commercial architecture—where art supports wellness, identity, and experiential design. By integrating local botanical themes into the interior environment, the mural strengthens the building’s character while creating a memorable, site-specific experience rooted in Manhattan’s urban landscape.
