CHRISTUS Health
Client: CHRISTUS Health
Interior Design: BOKAPowell
Location: Irving, TX
Project Type: Company Headquarters
CHRISTUS’ Corporate Headquarters in Irving, Texas features 15 floors of original commissioned artwork and prints.
In-step with the design concept from BOKAPowell, we selected and installed an art program that reflects CHRISTUS’ story and history. Artwork supplements and amplifies BOKAPowell’s thematic threads of ‘Layered Veils’ and ‘Sacred Space’.
In the Lobby – “Celestial Beams of Unity” welcomes visitors and employees inside. Three monofilament pillars bend, shift and dance, creating a moiré effect that transforms pillars into celestial beams, linking us to the heavens. The work pays homage to the three founding ministries of CHRISTUS, evoking the sanctity of the space.
The project also includes more intimate works, like portraits of important CHRISTUS leaders, or “Healing Hands”, a composition made of uniform scraps from CHRISTUS staff around the world.
The building, environment and amenities have received positive reviews from employees, many of whom are staying longer at the office (compared with pre-covid metrics) to enjoy the space.
The project received the 2024 CoStar Group Impact Award for Commercial Development of the Year – Dallas-Ft.Worth.
Additional Services:
As part of this project, we managed CHRISTUS Health’s existing art and historic artifact collection.
Our collection management service included inventory creation, artwork reframing and restoration, and the fabrication of custom museum cases for artifact display.
