The Palms Pool House - Beyond The Valley
A conceptual flagship pool club exploring light, colour, and spatial experience.
The Palms Pool House was designed as a flagship pool club experience for Beyond the Valley - a high-energy, immersive environment built around colour, form, and social ritual. Conceived as a visually iconic destination within the massive 50,000+ patron festival, the project encouraged movement, gathering, and playful interaction throughout the day.
The design explored bold geometry, saturated colour blocking, and layered spatial moments, balancing spectacle with comfort to support both active and relaxed use around the pool environment.
Supporting structures and booths extended the Palms Pool House language into more intimate, human-scale spaces. Curved forms, soft colour transitions, and integrated seating created shaded zones for rest, conversation, and social pause within the broader festival context.
Each asset was developed to be adaptable and build-ready, allowing refinement through fabrication while maintaining clarity of design intent at scale. In collaboration with Greenspec Events, all structures were designed for re-use, prioritising longevity and sustainability beyond a single festival cycle.
