ample natural light, efficient passenger flow, and flexible
spaces to accommodate varying needs. The terminal is
layout likely in cludes checkpoints, departure lounges, gates,
retail areas, and amenities, all arranged to enhance the
overall passenger experience while reflecting the local

The long-span timber roof sits on widely spaced
columns, to maximize the open space and
​
glazing. The roof spans 18.6m between columns,
and each bay is 15m wide. This presented an
engineering challenge to form the roof without a
visually heavy structure. The roof was designed
as a “folded plate” structure.
