Altars and sacred space design create a held portal for grounding, contemplation, and awakening. They connect us to our innermost self and within shared community. They serve to ignite our creativity, amplify healing, and enhance daily rituals. They are an entry point into meditative practice.

They serve as a refuge to center us— and simply create a moment of stillness,
to slow down, and become more fully present.

Altars offers us an opportunity
for pause, awe & equanimity

Learn to create and explore your altar as a vehicle and portal into sacred space.
Using meaningful objects, sacred space design, ritual, and natural elements paired with intention and creativity—we harness reverence through beauty.

Cypress designs sacred space and altar installations, ranging from site-specific altars to curated large-scale designs.
Inspired by nature, art, and functional beauty— born from dreamscapes, fine art, architecture, sound, mantra, and wabi-sabi.

Her large-scale 360 degree designs have been called stunning and distinct. Using texture, line, pattern, contour, interlocking natural structures, light and shadow, and ‘micro-environments’ —to create dynamism and wonder. Observed from various vantage points, the viewer is invited to participate in a meditative experience of contemplation and self-reflection, mirrored in the subtly of ‘microcosmic’ environments embedded throughout the altar.

Materials can be foraged from on-site surroundings or sourced to reflect the essence of the experience — including seasonal elements, sacred and medicine objects, art and design-inspired accents. Some free-standing designs explore architectural concepts, utilizing a focal point of foundational interlocking branches —built from balanced interlocking branches and stabilized materials, without employing tie offs or external support. The use of arching structures and lilting visual lines enhance a sense movement and fluidity.

Cypress works with private clients and organizations to design evocative and inspired spaces — from private curated high-end experiences to ceremonial sacred spaces, retreats to festivals, yoga studios to corporate meditation hubs.
