Bamboo architecture for spaces that move people
We design, engineer, supply, and build large-scale bamboo structures for festivals, celebrations, immersive art, and the people building a regenerative future.
The Studio
The team behind the Resonance Tree
Resonance Studio grew out of a build: a seven-meter bamboo pavilion designed, engineered, and raised at Burning Man 2026. Now that whole capability is yours — artist, festival, or a couple with a meadow.

Volunteers raised this. Most had never lashed bamboo before the summer it went up.
What We Do
One studio, the whole build
Architecture & Design
Concept-to-permit design for bamboo pavilions, stages, and buildings. Festivals, weddings, and immersive installations: spatial experiences first, structures second.
Learn more →Structural Engineering
Load paths, joinery, and lateral systems for full-culm bamboo. Engineered drawings your county, festival, or insurer can say yes to.
Learn more →Project Management
Crew leadership, logistics, and on-site build direction. We raised a seven-meter (22 ft) pavilion in the open desert at Burning Man 2026; we can run your build anywhere.
Learn more →Prefabricated Components
Trusses, arches, panels, and direct-imported structural poles: treated, graded, and sold in project-sized quantities with no container-load minimum.
Learn more →Consulting
Feasibility, budgets, material sourcing, and permitting strategy from people who already made the mistakes, so you do not have to.

Our flagship piece, at your event, delivered, installed, lit, and produced. Gather your people under it; we handle everything else.

First Install
The Resonance Tree
A bamboo pavilion built to gather a whole camp under: a canopy engineered from full-culm bamboo, prefabricated across two continents, and raised by volunteer crews at Burning Man 2026.
In Design
The Resonance Conch
Our next piece: a walk-in spiral shell with a nest at its crown — in design now, and commissionable as your venue's first home for it.

The Tree, lit
After dark it becomes a lantern — hundreds of solar lights breathing through the canopy. This is what your event books.
Burn day, sunset to night — twenty seconds of the premiere. The full build film is in the edit.
Engineering You Can Touch
We simulate before we build
Two live tools from the Tree project — open for you to play with.
Live Simulation
Solar Harvesting Visualizer
Per-panel sun access, harvest, and nightly battery runtime for every light on the Tree, a physics-based loss model, bench-calibrated against real hardware.
Open the visualizer →3D Mirror Twin
Lighting Visualizer
The Tree's lighting design in interactive 3D, every lantern placed, dimmed, and tuned in the browser before a single fixture was fabricated.

Why Bamboo
The fastest structure nature grows
Regenerative by nature
Structurally mature in three to five years, regrowing from the same roots — harvested like a crop, not a forest.
Strength that surprises
Pound for pound, structural bamboo rivals steel in tension and concrete in compression — light enough to raise by hand.
Fast, movable, kind
Up in days, tours between events, down without a trace.
Black Rock City at sunset — the ground our first structure stood on.
