SLC River tunnel

Location: Salt Lake City, UT Airport

Project Year: 2024

Project Status: Completed

Client: Gordon Huether Studio

Artist Gordon Huether led the vision for River Tunnel, an immersive light and sound installation spanning the 1,000-foot Central Tunnel at Salt Lake City International Airport. Over five years, BRAVE Design worked alongside Gordon, developing and refining countless concepts, coordinating closely with airport directors, and ensuring the seamless integration of lighting, materials, and spatial flow. The final installation—a dynamic canopy of illuminated fins with a curated soundscape—transforms the tunnel into a fluid, cohesive experience, visually linking the main terminal to the north concourse and redefining the passenger journey.
