The VIP lounge of Gagarin international airport (part of the Airports of Regions holding) has been honored to become a recipient of prestigious architectural Best Office Awards 2020, Business Space in Public Interior nomination. Overall 158 projects have been nominated for the Awards this year, with well-known architects and key persons of the real estate market sitting on the jury’s expert board.
The VIP lounge was designed by VOX Architects, outer space being a reference point for Gagarin airport’s interior solution. The space exploration theme is represented both directly – in the form of Yuri Gagarin’s effigy placed in the conference hall – and indirectly: in architectural images and colour schemes.
Every year Best Office Awards go to best Russian and foreign office projects. This is the most prestigious Russian awards for the design of corporate interiors, offices and public spaces.
This award is another evidence of the unique to the industry approach taken by Airports of Regions MC to the arrangement of comfortable and trendy spaces in airport terminals. Just to remind: in 2014 Best Office Awards went to Koltsovo airport (Yekaterinburg), in 2015 – to Kurumoch airport (Samara), in 2017 – to Strigino airport (Nizhny Novgorod) and in 2018 – to Platov airport (Rostov-on-Don).
Construction of a new international airport in the city of Saratov is the biggest infrastructure project implemented in Russian civil aviation in the year 2019. The project was delivered within the framework of a public-private partnership with Russian government, Saratov Region’s government and Airports of Regions MC involved.
