About ForestHouse

How It Began
In 2014, Christopher Bouton stepped onto the dusty expanse of Burning Man for the first time and was hooked. The event’s boundless openness, raw creativity, and sheer scale hit him like a revelation—something you can’t explain unless you’ve lived it. Inspired to give back to the community that stole his heart, he set out to create an art car unlike anything the playa had seen. He envisioned a rolling masterpiece that would stand out against the stark desert, fusing technology, futurism, and abstract art into something unforgettable. That vision became ForestHouse: a transformed school bus with a two-story soul, a DJ booth, a 50,000-watt sound system, and 12 LED-lit "trees" that turned the night into a glowing, futuristic forest.

The Evolution
Fast forward to today, and ForestHouse is reborn. Now led by Bouton and a passionate Vegas-based crew, it’s undergone a full rebuild, pushing the boundaries of sound and design even further. Auralux Systems has redefined its audio core, delivering a pulse-pounding experience. Made on Mars has crafted its new bones, blending art and engineering into a striking form. And with Void Acoustics as a partner, the sound hits harder and clearer than ever—perfect for pulling crowds into its orbit. Owned and operated by ForestHouse LLC, a company based in Las Vegas, NV, ForestHouse remains a labor of love, a gift to the playa and beyond.

Where It’s Going
From its Burning Man roots to festivals and private events across the U.S., ForestHouse rolls on—ever-evolving, ever-inspiring. It’s not just an art car; it’s a living piece of the community it was built to serve.
