Youth Academy Building
In 2023, the KC Current expanded it’s training facility to house a youth academy alongside it’s soccer complex. I was tasked with to creating the exterior design of the building, which would be translated to a physical mural.
Flat Designs and mockups
The academy building’s design was to be fun and energetic, while staying rooted in the team’s brand identity. Each side would flow into another by connecting patterns and elements (such as the team crest) along each wall. During the process, I had to understand how my design choices would be translated by the muralist.
I used renderings from the construction team to visualize how each wall fit together. This process also helped me adjust elements where stairs, doors, etc. might obstruct the design.
Design Applied to Building
Once the design was finalized, I handed it off to the muralist to project onto the walls as a guide. This project was a great exercise for how to translate a design from digital to physical space.
