ZOOX BLOOM
zoox x autodesk bay area design challenge 2026
SJSU: Best Design Winner
diagonal, radially symmetric seating arrangement:
keeps the original theme of the social zoox interior while having a
strong balance between personal comfort and compactness.
mocked up our basic form in Fusion and 3D printed a 1:10 scale model
to better understand its unique proportions as it will operate in a bike lane at 48 inches wide
zoox bloom is appropriately scaled for a compact, yet comfortable experience.
Following the compact experience, we compressed the original zoox side door into a soft honeycomb shape.
