Project description

Full 25 year masterplan and new terminal design for this existing airport facility in the Maldives. The masterplan aimed to maximise the efficiency of this constrained coastal site, whilst allowing for future flexibility.

Innovations & added value

The design had to touch earth lightly through both form and the use of materials and is in keeping with the idyllic setting and large tourism based traffic. Focus was placed upon the finishes and the lapping waves roof, creating a gateway to the island. The design achieved a high LEED rating.
