Owing its name very literally to the ancient tree that adorns the space, The Beech as the festival’s primary dance floor was designed with the intention of feeling equally as enticing, welcoming, and, comfortable during both daytime and night.
Newly established studio
@tne.two (by
@docketteddy &
@easby.keating ) expertly designed and fabricated the perfect structure to bring the space to life.
Taking inspiration from agricultural buildings with a vernacular approach, the modular structure features an open sided design providing shelter whilst keeping users connected to their surroundings. Fibreglass tiles filter dappled light from above, offering a softened, alternative view of reality. As day turns to night, attention shifts inward: the booth’s warm, internal glow becomes the focal point, its translucent roof creating a sense of intimacy and enclosure.
This sense of intimacy and enclosure was captured, and magnified, by the spectral lighting design of
@irieye.i creating a hazy canopy of colour and texture above head as darkness fell.
