Transportation - Star Alliance Business Class Lounge Heathrow Airport

In June 2008, all Star Alliance members moved operations to the new facilities at Terminal 1 of Heathrow International Airport in order to maintain a suitable facility for Business and First Class passengers.
I developed the brief was for the design of both departure and arrival lounges for the brand on 2 different levels. Alongside brand and lounge facilities, a separate food service operation needed to be incorporated to both the Business and First Class Lounges.
The designs were adapted for the localised environments, with detail development, drawing packages, FF&E and planning approval for both sites within an existing building envelope.
