Zurich Airport is Switzerland’s largest airport and the home base for Swiss International Air Lines, which serves 102 destinations in 46 countries worldwide. Swiss sees itself as the national airline of Switzerland and stands for values such as provenance, quality and ­individualised service.

The airline launched an invited ideas competition and tasked architects to come up with designs for new separate lounges for their Business, Senator and First Classes located on the third floor of ­Zurich airport’s Midfield Terminal (Dock E). The aim was to look for solutions that responded to current demands and the rising expec­tations of the customers.
