Austin, TX
Installed in the vibrant lobby of the Fairmont Austin, this trio of custom-crafted Live Oak trees delivers an unforgettable welcome experience. Each tree stands 20 feet tall, its organic form designed to echo the iconic oaks of Central Texas. With gracefully arching limbs and hand-textured bark, these sculptural elements bring warmth, shade, and a signature sense of place to the sleek, contemporary hotel interior.
The trees are strategically placed within the open-concept lobby to frame communal seating areas and soften the scale of the soaring architecture. Dappled lighting through the dense, sculpted canopy creates an inviting atmosphere, encouraging guests to linger, gather, and take in the beauty of nature—reimagined.
A seamless fusion of hospitality and biophilic design, this installation celebrates local character and elevates the guest experience through immersive naturalism.
