Meeting the demands of operators Socicam and Dix, a project by Bacco Arquitetos and Triptyque Architecture incorporates unique characteristics of the island of Fernando de Noronha into a new architectural perspective for the local airport.
Given the island’s remote location, the offices opted for an industrialized construction approach, making it easier to transport the structure by boat to the small docking pier and then to the construction site. The basis of the project was defined by the use of a glued laminated timber (GLA) structure, allowing airport operations to continue uninterrupted during the construction phases.
The choice of this material not only provided the necessary lightness for large eaves, but also created shaded and welcoming spaces, ideal for the beach climate, with the incorporation of cafes, electronic check-in totems and comfortable waiting areas, surrounded by vegetation. lush.
The new passenger terminal reflects the unique essence of Fernando de Noronha, offering a large balcony with services, surrounded by the island’s natural beauty. However, despite the quality of the study, the client chose not to use it in the airport expansion.
