Designed for Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners, the airside centre is centred around a large-scale retail island. The space is a potentially chaotic mix of retail, circulation and travel information and so a semi-transparent timber element is introduced to enclose retail pods, co-ordinate signage information and orientate passengers. |

The concept of a floating element creates a vibrant elevation and makes the passage through the airside centre an event, exploring the differing scales of a building within a building. |

Complex lighting and services are enclosed within the skin. Views to the apron from the Swiss Air lounge are maintained as the form tapers towards the terminals. |
