The new GVK Lounges at Mumbai’s International Airport, T2, offer a high-end experience to passengers.
Air travel can be a drag. Long layovers, dull waiting lounges and poor ambience often detract from a passenger’s airport experience. However, the new GVK First and Business Class Lounges at Mumbai’s International Airport Terminal T2, designed by ABM Architects, creates an oasis of luxury where passengers feel comfortable, relaxed and refreshed.
Alfaz Miller, Principal Architect at ABM Architects, said, “The architectural challenges we faced were numerous. Firstly, we had to design and engineer in an airport terminal and meet their exacting design and engineering standards. Also, the curved shape of the space was a challenge.”
The lounges’ concepts were prepared at the master plan stage by a different firm, Soft Room Architects. ABM Architects came in at the stage of detailed designing, taking over the task of managing the decor and the engineering. The firm worked in collaboration with high-end fashion designer, Sandeep Khosla, to act as a decor consultant.
First Class Lounge
The First Class Lounge is situated above the Business Class Lounge, at level 4 of T2. The First Class Lounge also has a vista panning across the runway and the horizon. First Class passengers and Premium Class passengers who are flying internationally are serviced by this lounge.
