Turkish Airlines Business lounges

Istanbul

Whilst working at Softroom architects; 

Associate Architect and project lead for the creation of six Turkish Airline lounges inside Istanbul's newly opened airport. 

 

Lounges are linked by a ribbon-like parametric wall that's nearly a mile long. Called the Flow Wall, it runs throughout 19,000 square metres of lounge space, creating an intuitive route that transcends barriers of language and culture.

​

The undulating wall is visible upon entrance to the airport, topped by a huge gold-metal Turkish Airlines logo. It guides travellers from the check-in counters, through to the lounge entrances and then to a central space populated by shops and other amenities.

​

Constructed with a plywood framework, the wall has been covered with bleached strips of oakwood and carved to feature seven grooves – a subtle nod to the fact that Turkish Airlines fly across the world's seven continents.

​

These grooves have been inlaid with over three miles worth of LED lights, which can be set to pulse when necessary.
