Virgin Australia Airport Lounges
The spaces provide all of the requirements of the modern traveller: working hubs, internet hook-ups, relaxing libraries, dining and drinking places, short stays for a quick bite and ‘verandahs’ to watch the world fly by.
An airport can be perceived as a place of movement – movement of planes, luggage and people.
This is the underlying architectural theme for the Virgin Australia Interiors, allowing guests to glide from one space to another, avoiding the clumsiness and confusion of travel.
The Lounges have been conceived as a set of loosely interconnected spaces all visually held together by the ‘net’ ceiling, which establishes the organic geometry for the entire space.
The recesses between the interconnecting ceiling panels conceal the myriad of required services.
