Sydney is set to unveil a new 2000 square meter pre-flight departure lounge available to Premium Qantas customers and which includes a complimentary day spa, reclining chair lounge area, private library, and a concierge. Australian designer Marc Newson and architects Sebastien Segers and Woods Bagot developed the design which features a panoramic view of Sydney and Botany Bay.
Marc Newson’s acclaimed design aesthetic flows throughout the Lounge. He has sourced the finest materials and worked with luxury brands across the globe to create this heaven. The Lounge features leather recliners, sofas and lounge chairs and tables by Cappellini, Tai Ping wool carpets from Hong Kong, marble from Carrara and quartzite from Switzerland, and masterfully designed American oak sculptures.
A muted natural stone colour palate, open plan spaciousness and selection of world’s-best brands evoke a feeling of understated luxury from the moment guests enter.The focus was on harmonious design elements to ensure a sense of cohesiveness to the space, which spreads across 2,000 square metres and encompasses a range of zones from business to entertainment to spa.
The arrival area sets the scene for the customer experience with vertical gardens creating a tranquil transition from the chaotic departure halls to the lounge. International botanist Patrick Blanc designed the striking vertical gardens which line the walls of the entry hallway and Day Spa. A spectacular vertical garden-with 8,400 plants extends across 30 metres of the lounge wall, bringing nature indoors in a dramatic yet sustainable way, cleansing the air and invigorating the senses.
