Design Details

Unique Properties
The project is to create the window of Belarus. This is the gateway of travel and communication for international elites. Here, people start to feel Belarus, and here, people have the last look back on Belarus before their return. The Interior design project for the new private jet terminal of Minsk covers reception hall, lounge, bar, meeting room, toilet, roof floor corridor and VIP saloon. We used contemporary design language to present the space with a relaxed and elegant quality.
Inspiration
The project wants to take inspiration from Belarus itself. Our project used contemporary language to express the image of the Belarusian people and country, the confidence and ambition to be in line with the whole worlds.
Realization and Technology
The Interior design is characterized by the creation of a highly suggestive entrance hall. The scenography of the entrance wall, behind the reception, expands in its plasticity throughout the surrounding environment, creating a new and impressive result. From the big staircase in the middle of the lobby, the brass balustrades extend to the division circle inside the lounge of above floor, bringing a unified character to the whole space and a hint of the metallic atmosphere of the aeronautical machine. The large main hall is lit from above by a large globe built with brass profiles like the large spiral staircase in the center of the hall.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in 2018 and the definitive design submitted in 2019. The construction site started while encountered the pandemic in Minsk, Belarus. The project finished in 2021.
