One Works had been appointed to design the expansion of Latvia’s Riga Airport. The airport is now entering the first phase of an ambitious development project (Runway 2027), which includes the construction of a new passenger terminal with a capacity of 12 million passengers per annum(mppa) over five years.
The new terminal extension will provide increased capacity and has been designed to sensitively integrate with the original 1973 soviet building to provide a new landside façade of the airport. A new Departures and Arrivals hall, check-in and baggage claim facilities will provide an upgrade in both operational and public spaces to create a more positive experience for staff, airlines and customers travelling through the airport.
As part of the project, a new state-of-the-area security control area, luggage reception facilities and luggage handling and sorting complex, and infrastructures relating to public and private transport will be introduced to accommodate the growth in traffic. To support further expansions and provide connections to the anticipated Rail Baltica HSR Railway Station, the design process heavily considered the flow of cars arriving, parking and leaving the airport, access and management of public transport management, as well as pedestrian accesses.
Clarity in space and visibility are central to our design vision to provide a minimalist approach commonly seen in the Nordic countries. Biophilic elements are being explored to create a warming, natural environment that reflects local character, including the use of natural, wooden materials for the internal finishes and roof of the terminal building. The introduction of a green roof will provide additional seating areas and a kid’s play area in order to drastically enhance passenger experience.
Externally, the new expansion of Riga Airport (47,000 sqm) will be characterized by a transparent glazed curtain wall with shading metal and wood elements.
Given that the airport is at the center of a fast growing infrastructural scenario, One Works carried out a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to deliver a project that aspires to the best solutions that an intermodal node must aim for.In a hybrid world between physical and digital like ours, considerable importance has also been given to the integration of smart technologies to improve the user experience from multiple points of view.
