Experiential
environments
Designing conditions
for what happens
within them.
Immersive environments built around purpose and participation.
Selected
projects
Three project positions—each can become a hero-led story or a deeper process presentation.
01Amphitheater
Experiential environment
Inquiry
How can structure, activation and nature become one cohesive environment—supporting intimate daily curriculum and large community events while maximizing and celebrating both experience and place?
Form
The site was shaped from the ground up: its building placement, elevations, sightlines and connection to the Culinary Center establish a continuous relationship between architecture and the surrounding property. Earth-formed terraces and concrete seating embed the amphitheater in the terrain, foregrounding both what happens within it and the nature around it.
Encounter
A choreographed entry gives way to a broad reveal of the amphitheater and the expansive nature beyond. As the property’s primary event space, it supports intimate daily curriculum, programmed activations and larger community events—making each visit inseparable from the experience of the property.
02SPACE
Experiential environment
Inquiry
How can space support vulnerability, connection and personal exchange?
Form
A sunken circular gathering space shaped around a nightly ceremony within the UHP curriculum. Angled earth walls hold the space, circular seating connects the group, and a central fireplace establishes a shared focal point. Sized precisely for one class of 44.
Encounter
Each evening, one member of the class shares their personal story. The gradual descent marks entry into a distinct experience; the enclosed form creates intimacy while maintaining connection across the circle. Fire signals the beginning of the ceremony and provides a common point of focus as experiences rarely shared are brought into the open.
03LINE
Experiential environment
Inquiry
How can a progressive freestyle environment maximize flight and performance while working in relationship with the surrounding landscape?
Form
A purpose-built jump line designed to maximize the number and variety of features within a concentrated footprint. Jumps, transitions and viewing positions were composed together with the surrounding environment to create a complete setting for riding, spectating and documentation.
Encounter
Designed for a video and photo shoot featuring YT Industries’ world-class athletes. The consolidated line created a dynamic sequence of air, style and performance while providing intentional vantage points from which each could be witnessed and captured.

Room for plans, studies, notes, models, iterations, process images and the specific conditions that shaped the work.
