Architectus’ design for the Qantas business lounge expansion at Brisbane International Airport reflects the quality and professionalism for which Qantas is internationally known.
Located beneath the existing lounge, the planning approach for the new lounge, which accommodates an additional 100 passengers during peak periods, provides various settings for passengers to enjoy, including lounging, dining and spaces for work, along with a fully operational commercial kitchen, bar, barista station, Qantas’ signature Quench station and new bathroom amenities.
The lounge form takes its cues from aviation design, with the gentle curve of the acoustic ceiling reflecting the lines of the recently updated Qantas kangaroo logo. The design aesthetic is inspired by the natural beauty of Queensland and works cohesively with the established lounge located above. Slatted wall linings are reminiscent of the iconic Queenslander homes and the custom screening takes its inspiration from louvres. Warm natural tones and textures including timbers, stones, concrete render and brass finishes were carefully selected for durability and to reflect the Queensland environment.
A concierge point and eligibility pod is located at the entrance and technology is accessible throughout to ensure seamless connection. The main circulation paths are finished in durable neutral stone or warm carpet, and seating areas are zoned with Qantas’ custom broadloom carpet which takes its inspiration from the moonlight over Morton Bay.
