AIRPORT EXTENSION

VANTAA, FINLAND

The terminal expansion, mentally linking Finland with the World, comprises two building volumes: “City Hall” and “Security Box”. “City Hall” houses the departure and arrivals halls, and the blue “Security Box” the security check and baggage claim areas. The aim is to simplify the airport structure in such a way that the passenger will recognize both the entrance and the whole process from arriving to the terminal to boarding a plane at a glance.

Project Involvement: Competition phase: exploded axonometric and elevation drawings. Development and Implementation phases: coordination of presentation packages, preparing design studies and visualisations, design tests (bathrooms, railings, bus shelter, baggage arrivals space), working drawings of the ceilings, stairs, and walls.
