加拿大西捷航空Aspire花园休息室,卡尔加里 / MRDK
该项目坐落于卡尔加里国际机场跨境航站楼内,西捷航空Aspire花园休息室是现有Aspire 休息室的一处静谧延伸。项目设计灵感源于一个简洁而富有诗意的构想:从主休息室走入一座花园。原有的墙体被开辟为新的出入口,使宾客能够顺畅地进入新增的花园空间,这里拥有40英尺的挑高空间、宽大的天窗以及通高的玻璃幕墙。
Tucked into the Transborder terminal of Calgary International Airport, the Aspire WestJet Garden Lounge is a tranquil expansion of the existing Aspire lounge. The project began with the simple yet poetic idea of walking from the main lounge into the garden. A new opening was carved into the original wall, allowing guests to flow seamlessly into the garden addition with it’s 40-foot ceilings, expansive skylights, and a full-height curtain wall.

然而,设计在规划之初便面临一项核心限制:无法在混凝土地面上钻孔。为了给每个座位都提供充电功能,设计团队提出了巧妙的基础设施方案——以一系列抬高的花槽隐藏电缆与插座。这些花槽不仅为室内引入了茂盛的绿植与丰富的质感,也划分了流线,并界定了各个分区。
The planning, however, had to contend with a key constraint: coring into the concrete floor was not possible. The need to provide charging capabilities to every guest seat was resolved through a clever infrastructural gesture, a network of raised planter boxes that conceal electrical cabling and plugs. These planters not only bring lush greenery and texture into the space, but also define circulation paths and frame the lounge’s many seating areas.

休息室的布局以多个独立分区展开。入口处是尺度亲切的居住尺度座区,每组配置一张双人沙发与两张休闲椅,营造如家里客厅般的亲密氛围。一座菱形吧台成为视觉焦点,其高架的置物架上覆盖着层叠的绿植。与之相邻的、形状相似的花槽两侧设有双人卡座,在动与静的转换间营造出节奏感。
The layout unfolds in a series of distinct zones. Upon entry, guests encounter residential-scaled seating zones, each with a two-seater couch and two lounge chairs, evoking the intimacy of a living room. A rhombus-shaped island bar draws the eye with its elevated shelving unit crowned with a lush, cascading planter. Adjacent to it, a similar shaped planter, flanked by two-person booths, creates a rhythm of compression and release as guests move through the lounge.

定制的钢制桌从花槽悬挑延伸,并向上弯折,容纳光晕柔和的台灯,为每个座位提供照明。在东侧墙面,一条低矮的绿色长椅蜿蜒延伸,搭配定制的木质与钢制咖啡桌,形成连续的休憩带。更具雕塑感的设计出现在东侧花槽——半圆形壁龛被切割出来,内置软包长椅,化身为舒适的用餐小间。
Custom steel tables cantilever off the planters and elegantly wrap upward to house soft-glow table lamps at each seat. On the eastern edge, a low green banquette snakes along the wall, its form punctuated by custom wood and steel café tables. In one of the more sculptural gestures, half-round niches were carved into the east-side planter and fitted with upholstered banquettes, transforming them into cozy dining alcoves.

材料与色彩选取温暖的自然色调:柔和的绿色、醇厚的棕色与浅雅的中性色彩呼应着空间中大量的自然元素。灯光柔和且层次丰富,进一步强化了如花园般的宁静氛围。
The material and colour palette is grounded in warm earth tones, with muted greens, rich browns, and soft neutrals that echo the natural elements throughout the space. Lighting is deliberately soft and layered, adding to the calming, garden-like ambience.

沿航站楼的走廊望去,茂盛的绿植清晰可见。悬浮于植被间的发光Aspire标识,既是视觉地标,也是温暖的邀请——欢迎疲惫的旅客走入这座花园绿洲,在此“充电”,无论是身心,还是设备。
From down the terminal concourse, the lush green vegetation is clearly visible. A glowing Aspire sign, seemingly floating amidst the foliage, acts as both a beacon and an invitation, welcoming weary travellers into a garden oasis where they can recharge in every sense of the word
