Spaces for Celebration.

Booth Hansen’s work often embodies the qualities that make a space inherently celebratory — timeless proportions, natural light, and an intuitive sense of place.

Booth Hansen designs for moments that endure — architecture that becomes the backdrop for life’s gatherings, celebrations, and shared experiences.

At Booth Hansen, we design environments that elevate life’s most meaningful gatherings. Whether rooted in landscape or woven into the urban fabric, our work seeks a timeless balance between beauty and utility—places that invite joy, connection, and reflection. Each project begins with a deep understanding of setting and purpose, culminating in spaces that feel both spirited and timeless.

Setting.

Every celebration begins with arrival. The architecture’s dialogue with its surroundings—whether framed by gardens, courtyards, or horizon—sets the tone for what follows. Our approach draws from context and landscape, establishing a sense of place that is immediate, memorable, and uniquely suited to the moment.

Venue.

The venue is where architecture and emotion meet. Through proportion, light, and material, we craft spaces that heighten the collective experience—rooms that carry sound and laughter, that feel open yet intimate. Each is designed to adapt gracefully, accommodating the ceremony, the gathering, and the quiet afterward.

Auxiliary.

Between the grand moments are the subtle ones—the pause before an entrance, the private preparation, the glimpse of guests in motion. These in-between spaces are vital to the rhythm of an event. We treat them with the same care as the main venue, ensuring that every corridor, lounge, or terrace contributes to the seamless choreography of celebration.
