NORTH TENERIFE AIRPORT
La Laguna, Spain
YEAR
2002
The North Tenerife Airport is incorporated into the landscape of its environment with its rounded shapes, like built hills, that dialogue with the sinuous silhouette of the mountains that surround it. The interior spaces offer the traveller a bright and warm place, in which he or she can have a pleasant stay, given the magnificent sights of the environment, equally from the air and from the land; the suggestive perspectives of the interior spaces bathed in light and interconnected with each other; enhance the functioning of the building so it becomes clear from any observation point. The use of materials such as the light-coloured stone flooring and wall tiling; the wall linings and false ceilings; the equally clear toned panels with birch wood finishes; and the laminated wood beams, reinforce the warmth and brightness of the interior spaces. These materials contrast with the force of the exposed concrete which gives the building an important emphatic point. The large size of the spaces does not make them less comfortable to stay in. Because of its scale and spatial quality it presents a personalised offer regarding the passenger´s treatment. The facilities are designed to hold up to 4 million passengers a year without changing their appearance. The composition of the building is organised around a very representative central space, with a large visual communication illuminated in a zenith way which connects all its levels. The wooden roof of this space turns out to be the emblem of the building and it turns it into an airport which is identifiable in our memory. The second space of the building, in terms of size, is the baggage collecting room, which, with its roof made out of large arranged wooden slats, becomes a rich and high quality luminous space. And finally the body that connects with the runway is formalised as a large wooden aileron which tops off the other two spaces and is connected to them through large holes that allow interesting views from both sides.
