Big Sur 360 Dome Private Event

The L&F team are no strangers to dome builds and were delighted to be working in the warm and idyllic mountains of Big Sur. Here at one of the world’s most beautiful places, we situated our dome atop towering cliffs to make the most of the ocean views. The event itself featured an immersive dome venue with a bar and dance-floor as well as projection mapped features around the rest of the property. The event’s projection solution consisted of three 30ft geodesic domes situated on the edge of a precipice in Big Sur. Each dome had it’s own unique purpose and feel. The two domes with higher foot traffic were dedicated to a bar and dance floor. In each, we featured 4, 15K lumen HD projectors. The third room was a “chill-out room,” so we went with a minimalist approach and installed a single 8K lumen UHD projector with a fish-eye lens. L&F was also responsible for curating and creating the content for the domes, focusing on a pink and purple color spectrum to match the mini-Coachella vibe that the birthday party was set to. The theme of the party required visual content that was highly colorful and geometrical, so we decided to go against our usual standard of using a projection liner. Instead, we projected the content directly onto the interior of the dome, adding an edgy, industrial element. There is nothing quite like watching people’s faces full of wonder as they first walk into a projection dome.
