Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Gatwick Airport

FDArchitecture, Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Gatwick Airport

Revered for their class-leading passenger lounges around the world, Virgin Atlantic appointed FDArchitecture in early in 2009 to design and manage their new Upper Class passenger lounge at Gatwick Airport.


Short listed as a finalist to both the 2010 Design Week Awards and FX Design Awards, FDA’s interpretation of a customer lounge, and with it the concept of introducing garden spaces into the airport environment, has been recognised for it’s innovation and it’s clever use of cost effective materials and environmental credentials.


8,500ft in total, including zoned areas for different activities, the lounge remains open plan and also provides the warmth and atmosphere that the lounge needs to offer to its customers.
