According to the architecture critic, Carter Horsley, Murano is named after the island near Venice famed for its colorful glassmaking. The building has a computerized lighting system for its striking curtain wall exterior and lobby that changes its hue every hour. Murano's entry design also pays homage to Venice's romance by surrounding itself with water over which small bridges are provided for residents and guests. Between the "moat" and the sidewalk are sunken landscaped areas. Murano is located less than one block from all the shops and great restaurants on Vernon Boulevard and two blocks from Gantry Plaza State Park. Trader Joe's, Target and the future home of Chelsea Piers are conveniently located on Jackson Avenue.
