Formula 1 is set to electrify the epicenter of entertainment as they gear up for a sensational race that carves its path through the vibrant neon heart of the iconic Las Vegas Strip. The Grand Prix will be home to many firsts as it makes its highly anticipated return to the F1 race calendar November 16-18, and among those firsts will be the U.S. debut of the Holzhaus Red Bull Energy Station.
“Holzhaus,” German for wood house, is an artfully crafted structure that will serve as part of the overall Red Bull Energy Station, a 20,000-square-foot trackside hospitality center located across from Turn 3 at the inaugural race.
The Holzhaus Red Bull Energy Station is a custom-built temporary hospitality structure, created to provide the pinnacle of hospitality and designed to evoke the premium and innovative spirit of Red Bull. Holzhaus has been a staple of the Red Bull Energy Station builds at European F1 races since 2017 and will now bring its unique, alpine-inspired Austrian design to the American F1 fan for the very first time.
Holzhaus Red Bull Energy Station by the numbers:
- Red Bull Energy Station houses up to 1,500 people
- Holzhaus capacity is up to 300 people
- Holzhaus is a 3-level structure with two main floors with a beautifully designed penthouse complete with a green area and outdoor dining area.
- Three preparation kitchens ensuring custom-curated culinary excellence for guests
Holzhaus requires 4 consecutive days of assembly and 4 consecutive days of disassembly. - The Holzhaus requires 14 construction workers to assemble within 32 hours, as well as Heavy equipment / 1 crane, 1 forklift and a scissor lift.
The story of the Holzhaus won’t end with the Las Vegas GP’s checkered flag. The structure, designed by Austrian architect Claudio Hatz and built with Austrian wood treated for the dry Las Vegas climate, will be disassembled, stored, and will reappear at future U.S. GPs, festivals and events across the country.
