2017 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Wellington International Airport Limited Terminal South Expansion
Continuing from the carefully detailed but strong conceptual ideas in the base build of the south extension, the interior architecture marries clarity with subtle and deft detailing touches. Whilst the materials of the existing terminal building have been replicated, they shift in composition to create a compelling junction with the southwest pier widening. In here the palette is completely altered but not in way that jars. Laminated timber beams, with concertinaed black perforated panels between, conceal services, provide air distribution and, importantly, give strong directionality to the pier for ease of passenger orientation.
