Enter Projects Asia has designed, delivered, and constructed the interiors of the post-security departures area of Bengaluru International Airport.
The interior, which features a variety of sculptural elements, includes retail, hospitality, and relaxation areas.
The designers used over 5 miles (or 9km) of rattan to create a series of curvaceous, sculptural pods that feature throughout the space, with the largest of the pods standing at nearly 26 feet (8m) high.
Enter Projects Asia worked with traditional Thai craftspeople, providing a new lifeline for these heritage craft communities, and each section of the vast design was handwoven at EPA’s Bangkok factory.
Lighting design was also used to add to the experiential and biophilic nature of the space, with the priority being the enhancement of the natural warmth of the materials.
Plants added the finishing touches to the interior with 700-year-old olive trees, hanging gardens, and thriving vines all contributing to the Garden City concept.
Close-up views of the interior show the details of the sculptural elements and the woven ceiling.
Here’s a look at the renderings, designs, and diagrams.
Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of the creation of the sculptural elements.
