Passageways… that could become spaces of discovery

Functional but forgotten corridors

In hotels, offices and residences, corridors are often designed for circulation and nothing else. Yet these are the spaces everyone passes through several times a day — a systematically ignored opportunity for experience creation.

An incomplete immersive experience

A spectacular entryway followed by a generic white corridor creates a break in the venue experience. The visual consistency of the whole reinforces the impact of each individual artwork.

Unexploited storytelling potential

Corridors are linear spaces perfectly suited to visual storytelling — a series of artworks can tell the story of a venue, a brand or a territory in a progressive and memorable way.

Benefits

What each mural brings concretely

End-to-end immersive experience

An artistic corridor extends the impact of the main artwork throughout the entire venue. Each movement becomes a micro-discovery that reinforces the sense of belonging to the place.

Unique visual storytelling

Corridors offer an ideal storytelling surface. A series of artworks can tell the story of the venue, brand or territory progressively — an effect impossible with a single mural.

Photographable content at every turn

Artistic corridors generate spontaneous photos at every step of the journey — multiplying organic visibility opportunities on social media.

Visual consistency throughout

Integrating art in corridors ensures a coherent visual identity throughout the venue, reinforcing the overall impact of each individual artwork.

Impact by space

Financing

Reduce your net cost to 30–50% thanks to available levers

Commercial tax deduction (DIEP)

For hotels and businesses, the cost of artworks in corridors is 100% deductible in the year of acquisition under the Federal DIEP Rule.

Provincial amortization 33.3%/year

In Québec, each artwork can be amortized at 33.3% per year — particularly advantageous for a multi-artwork program spread over several years.

Phased artistic program

L'Original can structure a multi-year artistic program allowing the investment to be spread over several fiscal years while building a coherent experience.

Tourism development funds

For hotels and tourist venues, certain regional funds finance artistic projects that improve the attractiveness and overall experience of the venue.

An artistic program in corridors is a tax-deductible client experience investment. L'Original can structure the project in phases to optimize the impact of each budget cycle.

Process

From vision to inauguration

Mapping transition spaces

Our team creates a complete map of the venue's corridors, stairways and transition spaces, identifying priority surfaces and visual storytelling opportunities.

Designing a coherent artistic program

We develop a global concept that connects the artworks — shared palette, narrative thread, thematic progression — to create a coherent experience rather than a disparate collection.

Phased execution

Execution can take place in a single intervention or in successive phases according to your schedule and budget. Each phase is self-sufficient and integrates into the overall program.

Proofs of concept

This model has already proven itself

Hotels that have integrated an artistic program in their corridors observe an increase in online review mentions and an overall improvement in their client satisfaction score.
