BOIFFILS Architectures redesigns the Terminal 2 location at Singapore's Changi airport. It is made with inspiration drawn from the idea of a Garden City backed by a biophilic framework to progress the design. It takes over 120,000 square meters which takes over three levels and will be a five-year project which redefines the entire space.
It transforms into a tranquil space with natural influences. The main focus this time around highlights the comfort of passengers followed by aesthetics. BOIFFILS Architectures was first founded in 1984 by Jacqueline and Henri Boiffils and the firm is now led by their son Basile Boiffils. It is now blending modern traveler's needs with elements that are rooted in nature.
