Alaska Airlines Flagship Lounge / Graham Baba Architects

Traditionally, airport lounges catered to this desire by emphasizing exclusivity: sleek, business-oriented safe havens that prioritized the needs of a privileged swath of travelers. Alaska Airlines sought to transform the lounge typology by providing a warm, welcoming space where all guests could find refuge – to relax, work, refuel and connect – a home-away-from-home with a sense of place deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Programmatically, the lounge is conceived in four zones: Come In, an approachable entry; Help Yourself, a casual bistro; Take a Breath, a haven for peaceful relaxation; and Cut Loose, a cozy bar atmosphere. Lightly separated with an array of oak and twisted metal screens, the spaces flow together.

The primary challenge for the project was to integrate the car park with its direct urban context, enabling new motion patterns in this part of town. The ground floor is divided into two distinct levels, in response to the natural slope of the terrain. By doing so the building becomes an extension of the public space. During the day, the ground floor serves as a vital connection between streets and residential areas.
