Please describe the project specifications

For the 3rd iteration of the Panorama Music Festival, American Express deployed a refreshed two story experiential activation at the Panorama Music Festival. The activation was tasked with immersing clientele with their new pay technology while giving attendees a view of multiple stages festival wide at the Randall’s Island Venue.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The client wanted to build on previous year’s experiences to generate a more engaging event activation space for their guests. This year’s theme was a day at a tropical beach, with two levels of fun and relaxation for VIPs, influences and GA guests alike.


What is unique or complex about the project?

Two-Story structures are always a challenging, and this multi-level structure proved no different. 4,300 Sq. Ft. were required per level to meet the space needs of American Express. The ground level was enclosed with plastic hard wall panels and vinyl walls to help contain HVAC service. The roof of the mezzanine was treated with a non-stretch white Celtic Cloth fabric that was secured to the aluminum members with male and female Velcro. Similarly, the visible vinyl and hard wall panels that were visible on the lower level also required treatments with the same fabrics. To give a sustained beach aesthetic, interior mezzanine columns were treated with woven rope similar to that seen on many tropical beaches.

The second level had both a enclosed lounge space as well as a covered terrace that overlooked the festival. With glass panels placed on the walls of the recessed gable bay, attendees on the upper level enjoyed multi-directional views of the entire venue, and most importantly, the main stage. A faux Beachwood vinyl treatment was applied to the mezzanine floor to finish of the tropical theme of the activation.


What were the results of the project?

The client was ecstatic with the final product, and we are looking forward to working with this client on future projects.
