Terminal One, JFK International Airport

New York, NY · $450 Million

This $450 million facility, built by Air France, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, and Lufthansa, represents the first major new terminal construction at JFK International Airport in twenty-five years. Uniquely positioned at the primary entrance to JFK, the studio created a dramatic and powerful design: a sweeping roofline floating over a steel and glass armature, evocative of flight itself. The award-winning terminal is a stunning example of 21st-century air travel. The studio served as team prime and sole design lead.

William Donald Schaefer International Terminal, BWI Airport

Baltimore, MD · 350,000 SF

This 350,000-square-foot international terminal at BWI was designed as a state-of-the-art international facility and an impressive gateway. The design builds on the signature space frame of the existing airport, developing it into its own distinctive form. Tiers of skylights culminate in a glass pyramid set over the functional center of the building; the changing colors of sunlight transform the terminal from glass and steel into a spiritually uplifting space. In joint venture with STV Inc., the studio functioned as sole design lead.

Central Terminal Building, LaGuardia Airport

New York, NY · Modernization

The studio modernized and expanded LaGuardia's existing Central Terminal Building.

The studio reconfigured the entire CTB to create a continuous ticket lobby and arrivals lobby throughout, allowing passengers to move freely across the terminal. The studio served as team prime and sole design lead.
