Airport Architects
On the Ground to Up in the Air
We design airport interiors that enhance the travel experience, turning airports into memorable parts of the journey rather than stress points. Our approach blends local culture with the excitement of travel, while prioritizing sustainability, safety, and traveler convenience. By integrating elements of hospitality, retail, and commercial design, we create seamless, stress-reducing environments that cater to both travelers and staff, ensuring that the enjoyment of travel begins at the airport!
Design that Delivers an Engaging and Memorable Experience
Aviation interiors, from lounges to retail spaces, must be welcoming, easy to navigate, and designed for a diverse range of travelers. Airport interiors follow a structured flow, with travelers driven by destinations, but the user group is more varied than in most spaces—spanning different ages, group sizes, and purposes. To meet these needs, designs must be clear, intuitive, and functional for all. A successful airport interior provides a fluid, engaging experience for everyone, from families, business executives and the weary traveler.
In our Virgin Atlantic Airlines Upper Class lounges in New York, Los Angeles and Newark, we created unique airport lounge interiors that resonate authentically with their respective locations and also the cheeky Virgin Brand. Our goal is to ensure comfort for all aligned with the pleasure of travel.
Creating Spaces that are Highly Branded and Authentic
Our bespoke, site-specific lounge interiors stand out for their branded, memorable designs. Some of our airport projects require confidentiality, and we respect that deeply, ensuring discretion throughout the process. Drawing from our extensive experience in hospitality, retail, residential, and restaurant design, we seamlessly integrate these insights into our airport interiors. This approach allows us to create environments that not only serve functional needs but also leave a lasting impression on travelers.
