Aman Stratosphere
Traditional hot air ballooning is typically crowded, exposed, and noisy, prioritizing shared spectacle over personal experience. This stands in contrast to Aman’s pursuit of calm, privacy, and refined immersion, motivating a redesign of the aerial journey.
Amangiri, Amanjena, Aman Le Mélézin, and Amangani were selected for their direct connection to hot air balloon experiences. Each location offers a distinct natural setting—from desert canyons to snowy mountains—embodying Aman’s harmony with nature and showcasing the diversity of landscapes this design aims to celebrate.
Design Opportunity
This project shifts the design focus from the balloon envelope to the cabin, exploring how improvements in enclosure and interior experience can enhance comfort, privacy, and safety without changing the flight system.
