When the Douglas Design District expanded its area to
Kellogg, we were happy to join to support our local design community. With this
in mind, we deiced to act on a long-time idea of creating our own artistic
mural to add to the neighborhood.
The mural was designed and painted by our CEO, and
artist-in-residence, Ruth Johnson. “I wanted the building to reflect the kind
of creative, high-energy work our agency does and to represent us and our
industry,” Ruth said. Ruth was inspired by geometric style of Piet Mondrian,
the influential Dutch painter.
We invite you to come take a photo of our building and add
it to your list of Downtown Wichita Murals!
The N&A Building
We get lots of
comments on the interesting structure of the Nye & Associates building.
The Outside
Originally, the Nye & Associates building was owned by a
housing contractor, who built the rhomboid shaped-structure with leftover
materials from his various building projects.
The building’s unique shape came about by trying to maximize
usable space on the long, rectangular lot. And, they needed parking spaces and
this shape was the best way to get it.
The building uses many types of materials, such as leftover
wood used for inside walls and cement blocks for outside walls.
The Inside
Based on the blocky outside structure, N&A interior decorators play up a Cubism theme on the inside, utilizing cylinders, spheres, and cones in the decorating scheme, with bright, energizing colors.
