Tenerife Sur Airport expansion

Our proposal is based on the possibility of creating a contamporary and homogenous terminal building reusing the existing terminals, incorporating them in a single unit that is perceived as uniform. There are 6 main “architectural acts” over the existing buildings, in the areas that do not have great impact on ducts and existing structural elementes. This approach is economically advantageous if done with care, but also more sustainable and it increases the value of the proposal as it combines the values of the exsiting building with that of the additions, creating a unique character.

There is also a leitmotiv in the proposal, to incorporate local vegetiation, cactuses and other succulent plants to create a garden terminal. Adjacent to the Baggage Claim area, we propose a large cactus garden as part of the Arrivals Hall, which in this climate is conceived as a covered but exterior space- the traveller takes his luggage and finds himself inmediately on an outdoor environment filled with vegetation.
