Monday Mural - Art meets Architecture

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.
Thanks, Sami 

I first spotted these murals in December last year. They happen to be just a couple of blocks from my workplace.  They weren't yet complete, nor was the new building.
Just a couple of weeks ago I remembered to turn right instead of left when going home so that I could take photos of the completed project.

Perth artist Stormie Mills, was invited to paint the two murals by the developer    - Fini Developments - in this 5-storey residential building at 21 Henley Street, Como. The murals took about 1 month to be painted.

  1. The murals are nice, but your photos really make them pop! Blue skies and dramatic angles are great.

  2. These are two amazing murals. Simply lovely. Stormie Mills has great taste in murals. I am sure it must have been hard to create these in that short amount of time.

    I was surprised that the apartments are for sale. Here in the states, MOST apartments are rented, while "condos" are sold. English is such a strange language (grin)!

    I learned today that because I used an image from the internet for my mural, I couldn't get it to show as an icon. Had to use the lovely Bleubeard instead.

    1. I think an apartment is probably what is called a condo in the States. Apartments are becoming popular, specially with young people or retirees, as they are being built close to the city where formerly there were single houses. It means more people live in the same space used by a house and they are closer to inner-city life. They pay a condominium fee for the common usage of lifts (elevators), pools, gyms, or whatever the building offers. I lived and owned an apartment in Portugal, which we sold when we moved to Australia, but now I would rather live in a stand alone house (as I do now) or a townhouse or villa, which has a small garden...which is what we would like to do when decide to downsize :)

    1. Thank you Kwarkito. I suppose the residents can imagine themselves in the middle of a garden...although there is a great park in the street behind the building.

  7. Wow, this is both very beautiful! And advanced - here murals still come slowly, if legal it´s an even longer way. They are tagged often or, one beautiful one by artist Ente on a utility box gets an ad from Telekom all over often, very sad.
    To have a new building with a beautiful mural in one piece is the way to go!

    1. Thanks Iris. To cover an painted utility box with adverts, that's silly!!

  10. I'm seeing more and more of these giant murals but this is the first time I've seen it marketed as part of the purchase

  12. Love that the developers incorporated a mural into the construction. I have seen one here. They often put art on the hoardings which is a nice touch.

  14. Great, dear Sami - I think that artistic murals contribute a lot to the beautification, especially in modern buildings.
    Today, however, I'm showing an old building that also has got new splendor thanks to a wonderful mural.
    All the best, Traude

  15. Those are very impressive. That first one has a tree that at first glance looked like a crucifixion picture.
