Five texture techniques including gun texture, molding cloth, paint on drywall, direct apply plaster and 3D plaster were required. Molding cloth was adapted into gigantic mushrooms to become its own art element at ceiling-to-wall transitions. It features 10 custom paint techniques and 18 paint colors. One of the larger work scopes added was the fabrication, installation and theme painting of the Cosmohedron, a three-story spaceship-like statue.
