Ljubljana Airport Business Lounge

How to introduce a feel of a global travel, on one of the smallest European's airports? How to transform one of the most remote places on the terminal into the experience that the most demanding passengers would consider worth remembering. An idea is simple. We turn the remoteness, small size and non unattractiveness of the place into the advantage: we close it entirely. That way we get an easily manageable space where we could control the passengers movements, their experience and available programs.
This way, the passengers' experience becomes carefully tuned walk from the most open and dynamic to the most intimate and tranquil spaces of the business lounge. All interventions are planned in a way that enables the most effective experience at minimal cost. Even the music, food selection and literature are carefully moderated.
