Crosspointe Church in Anaheim, CA, set sail on an exciting journey to reimagine the classic tale of Noah’s Ark. What started as a traditional Biblical concept soon transformed into a modern-day rendition of the well-loved story. The result? A lively, colorful space where children can engage with faith in a fresh, creative way.
Shipping Docks Overrun with Adventure
The design begins at the "shipping docks," where playful cartoon-style murals showcase crates overflowing with animals, each waiting for their spot aboard the ark. These detailed murals bring to life the chaos and anticipation of loading the animals, all set against the backdrop of an impending colossal storm. The vibrant colors and larger-than-life characters create an immersive environment where children can let their imaginations run wild, feeling like they're part of the story themselves.
Transforming Play
A Modular Ark
The centerpiece of this adventure is a modular play structure transformed into Noah’s Ark. Custom vinyl banners with vivid illustrations turn the playground into the iconic boat. This interactive transformation enhances play and ties the theme together beautifully.
A Realistic Twist Upstairs
Journey upstairs and the theming takes a shift toward a more sophisticated, realistic design. Here, older children will find themselves still amidst the bustling shipping docks, but with a modern edge. The murals transition from cartoonish charm to a realistic, industrial look that creatively incorporates the building’s own HVAC pipes, seamlessly blending real-world elements with imaginative art. This transition not only elevates the experience for older kids but also helps tie the whole space together with continuity and thoughtful design.
3,000 Square Feet of Custom Murals
This incredible environment sprawls across more than 3,000 square feet of custom-designed murals, each illustrated to tell a story of faith, fun, and adventure. Every wall is packed with intricate details, engaging visuals, and bright colors, ensuring there's something new to discover around every corner. Whether it’s the cartoon animals in the stormy docks or the industrial flair upstairs, each area is designed to captivate the imaginations of both young children and pre-teens alike.
Creativity, Faith, and Fun Intertwined
Crosspointe Church’s Noah’s Ark-themed environment is more than just a space—it’s an immersive experience where children can dive into the wonders of faith through playful, imaginative design. From the cartoon-filled shipping docks to the industrial upstairs murals, every inch of this project is crafted with care and creativity.
