El Lissitzky Business Lounge

Drawing upon the constructivist legacy evoked by its namesake while transcending historical reference through contemporary parametric expression, this award-winning interior environment demonstrates exceptional achievement in the integration of computational design methodologies with luxurious material execution and sophisticated atmospheric creation. The ceiling installation functions as both architectural gesture and experiential catalyst, its undulating wood lamellae establishing a visual rhythm that suggests natural phenomena such as sand dune formations, water ripples, or geological strata while simultaneously referencing the dynamic spatial experiments of early twentieth-century avant-garde movements. The designer's chromatic strategy achieves remarkable balance through the juxtaposition of warm organic wood tones against the unexpected intervention of luminous turquoise crystalline elements that trace the perimeter seating area, introducing a quality of geological wonder and chromatic surprise within an otherwise restrained palette. Technical accomplishment evidences itself in the precise execution of the parametric ceiling structure, where each lamella maintains consistent spacing while collectively describing complex compound curves that transform the overhead plane into a dynamic sculptural surface. The material selection demonstrates sensitivity to both tactile experience and acoustic performance, with the slatted wood construction offering visual warmth and sound absorption while leather upholstery and smooth flooring provide textural variety beneath. The curvilinear banquette seating echoes ceiling geometries, establishing formal dialogue between horizontal and vertical surfaces while creating intimate zones within the expansive space. One might observe how the deep blue twilight visible through extensive glazing participates in the chromatic composition, its cool tones complementing the turquoise elements while enhancing the warm glow of illuminated wood. How does the experience of inhabiting such a space transform the transitional moments of travel into opportunities for contemplation and renewal?

The new terminal is designed in Russian constructivist style. The imposing ceiling in the lounge is a representation of the supremacist style of El Lissitzky which he called Proun, "the stage where someone changes from painting to architecture". By adopting the architectural columns in the ceiling design it was possible to divide the lounge into zones. The large mirror wall at the end of the lounge makes the movement become infinite. In reference to painting Victory over the sun.
