Excellence in Airport Planning & Design

Airports are among the most significant public building types of the modern age. Gateways to nations and cities, airports play an important role in shaping the global image of their surrounding environment. They are also major economic centers and generators of wealth. As facilitators of trade and tourism, airports are key to economic development and to connecting people.

Memorable architecture for transportation infrastructure is the product of collaboration and innovation—two forces that, along with our drive for excellence, remain SOM’s defining traditions. Through seven decades of global experience, we have led the evolution of aviation facilities. SOM is proud to have designed some of the world’s most memorable airports in Asia, , the Middle East and North America; gateways that have since become civic landmarks.

Rail access to and within airports is an essential component of a sustainable transport network. SOM has planned and designed a full range of such facilities. The Singapore Changi rail station designed by SOM is a landmark and gateway itself, rising dramatically on either side of the central terminal area. At Hong Kong International Airport, SOM led a team that integrated the existing Airport Express Station with the new terminal, the extension of the underground people mover system, as well as two surface transport modes—cross-boundary buses and the innovative airport ferry terminal SkyPier. At Toronto and JFK we have incorporated stations for light rail airport access.

Airport Lounges Amenities for Passenger Comfort

Dedication to service and passenger comfort has made Jet Airways one of India’s top airlines. Now the company is bringing the same dedication to service into its airport lounges, to give Premiere and First Class passengers a truly seamless experience of luxury travel. The new lounges will offer travelers a tranquil resting place, a lively social atmosphere, refreshing shower facilities, and a full suite of business amenities.

Within each location, interior spaces are defined by a system of wooden arches which shelter travelers like a tree canopy and create pockets of activity without separating the lounge into compartments. Like the representations of landscapes, rivers, and trees in Hindu architecture, the system draws inspiration from nature, blurring the distinction between interior and exterior to create a sense of both mass and intimacy.

The design fully integrates the technology needs of the contemporary traveler. The arches house electrical outlets to recharge portable devices and every lounge offers wireless Internet connectivity. A sophisticated Flight Information Display System (FIDS) presents information about the unique destinations Jet Airways serves. Electronic art walls use innovative technologies to create a stimulating visual backdrop.

Revenue Generation The Key to Economic Sustainability

Non-aeronautical revenue accounts for a substantial percentage of airport revenue. With deep roots in private-sector commercial architecture, and an unmatched portfolio of aviation projects, SOM is uniquely positioned to maximize the revenue-generating potential of the airport as a whole and the core terminal complex in particular. Closely integrated Airport City development and well-connected cargo and airport-related free trade areas are complemented by revenue generation strategies in and around the terminal building. Retail concessions within the terminal can be arranged in ways to enhance sales and improve passenger satisfaction. Larger facilities, such as hotels and conference centers, can be incorporated into the terminal, either airside or landside. Well placed and well designed airline lounges command higher rents and provide important amenities to high-value customers. Retail and dining concessions within the terminal are by now only some of the amenities provided to passengers in world class terminals.

Memorable airport design is the product of collaboration and innovation—two forces that, along with our drive for excellence, remain SOM ’s defining traditions. Through seven decades of global experience, we have led the evolution of aviation facilities.

SOM is proud to have designed some of the world’s most memorable airports in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America; gateways that have since become civic landmarks. SOM has an in-depth knowledge of airport terminal design and a unique approach that combines efficiency and world-renowned design quality. Our designs accommodate both the temporary needs of the passenger as well as our clients’ need for long-term, flexible facilities. SOM pays close attention to the design of functional spaces that are understandable and reflect a high level of passenger service. We also anticipate future changes, and our group works closely with clients to design facilities that respond to current operational demands as well as to the demands of projected expansion and growth.

In the past twenty years, SOM has successfully completed more than 5 billion dollars of airport construction projects, including the master planning and architectural design of entire airports and airfield plans, more than a dozen airport terminals, six FIS facilities, and numerous support facilities for airside and landside transportation, maintenance, and cargo.
